The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a large embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 100m) and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. This is a circular area of mixed woodland defined by a scarp (Wth 2-5m; H 0.5-0.8m) SE-W-NW (diam. 83m NW-SE), which merges into the slope elsewhere where it is bordered by the edge of the wood. There is no evidence of a bank, fosse or original entrance.
