The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the W edge of a broad NW-SE flat-bottomed valley. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 22m WNW-ESE) defined by a low bank (Wth c. 4m; H 0.25-0.35m) WNW-NE and slight traces of a fosse (Wth c. 4.5m; D 0.3m) NE-SE, but the perimeter can hardly be traced elsewhere and the interior has been quarried.
