The National Monuments Service's description
On a SE-facing slope. Circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 31m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by an overgrown rounded fosse which is best preserved SW-NNE (Wth of base 2.8m; D 0.4m), but is hardly traceable at SE-SW (Wth of base 2.3m; D 0.2m). A N-S field bank overlies the E part of the interior, and the perimeter is visible as a slight scarp (H 0.2m) E of this feature. A field bank and hedge is incorporated into the inner edge of the fosse SE-N-SW, but there is no identifiable original entrance.
