The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 35m NW-SE) truncated by a NE-SW boundary at NW, and situated on the crest of a broad NW-SE ridge. This is now an oval grass-covered mound (dims of base 16.2m NW-SE; 9.6m NE-SW; H 1.8-2.35m) with a NW-SE crest (L 7.1m) and some bushes, which may be spoil.
