The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped feature, and situated on a gentle N-facing slope. An arc of a bank (at S: Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.7m) survives S-NW (C c. 55m). It is bisected by an E-W field bank, from which a field bank runs S which truncates the perimeter at S. There is an E-W drain outside the perimeter at S. The interior is grass-covered N of the E-W field bank and scrub-covered S of it.
