The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope at the SE end of a broad NW-SE ridge. At the centre of the large enclosure (RO034-067001-) are traces of a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.2m). This is connected to the perimeter of the large enclosure at N by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.4m), all of which are probably the remnants of a field system preserved within the large enclosure.
