The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SSE-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 48m) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 4.35m; int. H 0.3m) with an external fosse (Wth 4.45m; D 0.9m). The bank encloses the site NNW-S and SSE-WSW. From S-SSW and WSW-NNW the bank is absent and the site enclosed by a scarp. The bank is incorporated into a WSW-ENE orientated field boundary bank NNW-NNE. Original entrance is not recognisable. The fosse encloses the site NNE-NW and is absent NW-NNE to the N of the WSW-ENE orientated field boundary bank.
