The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating wet pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m). At the external base of the bank is a fosse (Wth 3m). From WSW-WNW the bank is absent where a NNW-ESE orientated road abuts the W side of the site. The fosse encloses the site WNW-SE and is visible as a band of wetter ground. A field drain has been cut along the external base of the bank SE-WSW. The original entrance is not recognisable.
