The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle ENE-facing slope. An arc (C 37.5m) of earthen bank or scarp with scrub (at S: Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.9m) survives SSE-W creating a D-shaped grass-covered area which is truncated by an E-W field bank at N and a N-S field bank at E. There is a modern gate with piers at SSW, but there is no visible fosse.
