The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a small embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m), and situated on a ridge in an undulating landscape. There are faint traces of a circular grass-covered area (diam. 24m) defined by a slight, widely-spread bank. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
