The National Monuments Service's description
Just off the S-facing crest of a broad E-W drumlin ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims c. 50m E-W; 44.8m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m) SW-NW and a scarp (H 0.7-0.9m) elsewhere. A field wall is built on the perimeter NW-NE, and quarries damage the edge NE-SSE. There is no visible fosse or identifiable entrance.
