The National Monuments Service's description
Just off the crest of a low N-S ridge on the E-facing slope with a S-N section of the Scrammoge river c. 300m to the E and curving around W to c. 200m distant to the NE. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 37.1m N-S; 34.2m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5-5.5m; int. H 0.3m generally to 1m at W; ext. H 0.9-1.2m) and a fosse (Wth of top 4-7.3m; Wth of base 2-3m; D 0.2-0.4m) ESE-W-ENE, but the bank is reduced to a scarp (H 1.3m) and the fosse is missing elsewhere. There is an entrance (Wth 1.9m) at SW.
