The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 36.7m E-W; 33.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5-4m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 1-1.2m) NE-ESE and WNW-NNW, and a scarp (H 0.7m) NNW-NE. There is a fosse (Wth of top 6.5m; Wth of base 1.4m; ext. D 0.3m) NE-E, and the perimeter is truncated by a pond (L 20.5m E-W) at S. There is no identifiable original entrance, but the interior is overlain by a relict E-W field bank.
