The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle N-facing slope of a low hill. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 29.5m NW-SE; c. 27m NE-SW) defined by a fragment of an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4-0.8m; ext. H 1m) at E which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.4-1m) elsewhere, and an outer fosse (Wth of base 3m; D 0.4m) WNW-NNE. The entrance (Wth 3m) is at E. A NW-SE field bank truncates the perimeter at SW.
