The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating low-lying wet pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 28m) enclosed by a broad flat-topped bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.55m). At the external base of the bank is a fosse (Wth 3.8m; D 0.45m). The fosse encloses the site on all sides and is almost entirely silted up except SW-W and NNE-E. A break (Wth 2.4m) in the bank with a causeway across the fosse at NE marks the position of the original entrance.
