The National Monuments Service's description
On a W-E spur and with an E-W ridge (H c. 2m) N of the centre. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 54m N-S; 45m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.9m) and outer berm (Wth 4m) SSE-W-NNW, a steep natural slope (H c. 10m) NNW-NE, and an earthen bank (Wth 4m; H 0.1m) on the straight E side which was probably incorporated in a field bank at one time. There is a quarry (Wth 9m; D 1.2m) outside the perimeter SSW-NNW, and there is an entrance ramp (Wth 3m) at WNW.
