The National Monuments Service's description
On the crest of a low NW-SE ridge. An arc of earthen bank (Wth 3.5-5m; int. H 0.1-0.8m; ext. H 0.8-0.9m) survives NW-E-SE (diam. 42m NW-SE) enclosing a grass-covered area, but the perimeter cannot be traced elsewhere and there is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
