The National Monuments Service's description
On the S-facing slope of a low E-W ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 33.7m N-S; 28.6m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth 9m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.5m) and outer fosse (at W: Wth of top 6.3m; Wth of base 3m; D 0.3-0.5m) SW-NW, but the perimeter is reduced to a scarp (H 0.5-0.8m) elsewhere. The entrance (Wth 3m) is at SE, and there is a modern entrance (Wth 3m) at NW. Pitfield (RO022-143----) is c. 180m to the NE.
