The National Monuments Service's description
On a broad plateau with rock outcrop. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 44m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by a grass-covered earth and stone bank (Wth 1.4-2.4m; H 0.1-0.4m) SE-W-NW. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, and the monument is truncated by an E-W wall at N and a N-S wall at E. A relict field bank extends from the perimeter at SW as part of a field system (RO028-239002-) of rectangular fields (dims c. 100m x c. 50m) covering about 5 acres (c. 2 ha).
