The National Monuments Service's description
Situated near W end of level summit of a narrow E-W orientated ridge, in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.7m). No fosse is visible at ground level. A NNW-SSE orientated field boundary bank lies across the site, to E of centre, truncating the bank at SE and at N. The site has been removed to the E of this boundary but is visible as a slightly raised area defined by a very slight scarped edge (ext. H 0.1m). Either of two breaks in the surviving portion of the bank at NW (Wth 6m) and at S (Wth 4m) could be an original entrance.
