The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise on a NE-facing slope. Circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 38.3m E-W; 36.6m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.3-5m; int. H 0.5-0.7m; ext. H 0.85-1.7m) and outer fosse (Wth of top 3.6-4.7m; Wth of base 1.2-2.1m; D 0.35-0.6m). The entrance (Wth 1.1m) and causeway (Wth 1.5m) at ENE may be modern, as might the entrance (Wth 2.8m) and causeway (Wth 6.4m) at WNW. The interior is overlain by a NW-SE field wall just NE of the centre and it is completely overgrown NE of this feature.
