The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise on a N-S ridge. Described in 1995 as a circular, slightly domed area (diam. 29m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by an eroded earth and stone bank (Wth 5-6m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3-0.6m) with no evidence of an outer fosse. There was no visible entrance. It was bisected by a N-S field wall with a further field wall surrounding and partly overlying the perimeter S-W-N (SRM file). The W part was grass-covered and the E part is overgrown, but since 1995 the E part has been removed.
