The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 35m) enclosed by an irregular, low, broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 2-2.7m; int. H 0.1-0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank encloses the site on all sides and has a very irregular low broad profile. An E-W orientated wire and post fence lies along the top of the bank NW-NE. There are numerous small breaks in the bank but the position of the original entrance is not recognisable.
