The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised oval area (dims. 23m E-W; 21m N-S) encloses by an irregular low broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. Field clearance rocks have been dumped along the external face of the bank on all sides distorting the original profile. A slight break (Wth 4m) in the bank at N may mark the position of the original entrance. A slightly raised irregular area (dims. 8m N-S; 10m E-W; H 0.1-0.3m) of uncertain significance is located to W of centre in the interior.
