The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 31.6m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) and an outer fosse (Wth of base 3m; D 0.1m) N-E-S. The site is truncated by a NNE-SSW field bank and no visible feature survives W of this. The entrance (Wth 2.2m) is at SSE, and the perimeter at S is cut by a pond.
