The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as an arc of an enclosure (C c. 40m SE-NW) only on the 1929 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the crest of the E end of a low ridge. An arc (C 30m) of a fosse (Wth of top 5.3m; int. D 0.5m; ext. D 0.3m) survives SE-SW, but a NW-SE field bank which truncated the rest of the monument has been removed.
