The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a level, low-lying landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 56m NE-SW; 48.8m NW-SE) defined by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 4.8-6m; Wth of base 2.5-3m; int. D 0.5-0.7m; ext. D 0.2-0.5m) SSW-N and by a scarp (H 0.3-0.4m normally to 1.2m at N) elsewhere. There is no recognisable entrance. There is a local tradition that it was used for burial, but there is no evidence of burials or of any internal structure. It remains unplanted in a coniferous forest.
