The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight E-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 44.4m WNW-ESE; 39m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank with some scrub (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.3-0.6m) SE-W-NW where it was incorporated into a field bank, now removed beyond the monument, and at NNE (Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m), but the perimeter is reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
