The National Monuments Service's description
In a broad E-W valley, at the bottom of a N-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 40m E-W; 37m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5-3.7m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.4-0.5m) NNW-SE and by a scarp down to the interior (H 0.8m) SE-SW, but the perimeter cannot be traced SW-NNW. There is no visible fosse or entrance and it is cut by an E-W field wall S of the centre. A fragment of a relict field bank is attached to the perimeter at NE.
