The National Monuments Service's description
In a low-lying position in an undulating landscape. Subcircular domed and grass-covered area (dims 38.7m WNW-ESE; 34m NNE-SSW) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5-4.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.35-0.55m) with no evidence of a fosse. The perimeter is truncated slightly by a NE-SW field boundary at N and a NW-SE field boundary at E, while the entrance (Wth 1.1m) is at SSE. The interior is overlain by some relict field banks.
