The National Monuments Service's description
At the N edge of a plateau. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 35.2m E-W; 32.2m N-S), which remains unplanted within a coniferous forest, defined by an earthen bank (at E: Wth 2.5; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m; at W: Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.4m) which is reduced to a slight scarp (H c. 0.6m) W-N, and a fosse visible as a band of rushes (Wth 3-4m) SE-W. There is no identifiable original entrance, and the perimeter is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at NW. The fosse is clipped by a NE-SW field wall at SE and a NW-SE field wall at SW.
