The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered platform (dims 24.3m E-W; 20.3m N-S; H 0.9-2m) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 10-11.5m; Wth of base 6-8.8m; D 0.4-1.4m). A road bank circumscribes the monument E-SW, and straight field banks surround it at N and W, that at W truncating the fosse. There is no identifiable original entrance, and the perimeter of the platform is cut back N-NE, ESE-S and SSW-WSW.
