The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight SW-facing slope. Circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 30.9m E-W; 28.8m N-S) defined by an earthen bank with some bushes (Wth 4-6.8m; int. H 0.15-0.3m; ext. H 0.3-1.2m) which is incorporated into a field bank at S, with an outer fosse (Wth of top 9.3m; Wth of base 5.5m; ext. D 0.25m) only at S, although this may be a quarry. There is no identifiable original entrance and the perimeter has been damaged by quarrying at SSW.
