The National Monuments Service's description
On the NE-facing crest of a low NW-SE ridge. Raised D-shaped grass-covered platform (dims 41m NNW-SSE; c. 35m E-W) with the straight side at W where a N-S field bank has been removed. There is a faint lip of a bank around the perimeter defined by a scarp (H 1.8m at ESE) NNW-E-SSE which merges into the slope SSE-W-NNW.
