The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise of a gentle E-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 55.5m NE-SW; 53m NW-SE) defined by an eroded earthen bank which is best preserved S-NNW (Wth c. 6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) but reduced to a slight scarp E-S, and with slight traces of an outer fosse NNW-E. There is no identifiable original entrance. The perimeter is overlain by a WNW-ESE field wall at S and by a NNE-SSW field wall at W.
