The National Monuments Service's description
On a level landscape. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 41m) with some beech trees and scrub defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 1.5-1.7m) S-SW and by a scarp (H 1-1.7m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance. A curved depression (L 9m; Wth 4.5m; D 0.6-0.8m) inside the perimeter at W could be a collapsed souterrain (RO015-005002-) or a quarry. The perimeter at N was disturbed by the building of an ice-house.
