The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 25m) enclosed by a low irregular bank of earth (Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NW-SE the bank has been removed and the edge of the site is barely discernable as a slight irregular scarp. A field drain has been cut along the external base of the bank S-NW. The original entrance is not recognisable. The NE one-third of the site has been almost entirely removed.
