The National Monuments Service's description
On a steep NE-facing slope at the E end of an E-W drumlin ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 33.8m E-W; 30.9m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.2-4.5m; int. H 0.4-0.9m; ext. H 1.1-1.3m), which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m) NNW-E where it is slightly truncated by a NW-SE road bank, and an outer fosse (Wth of top 5.5m; Wth of base 3m; D 0.6m) SSW-N, which is partly dug-out W-NW. The original entrance is not identified.
