The National Monuments Service's description
Straddling the undulating summit of a low broad E-W orientated ridge, in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 28m) enclosed by a narrow bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1-1.6m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank has been incorporated into field boundary hedge and the external face has been faced with drystone rubble. The bank has been removed E-NW and its circuit is defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.45m). The original entrance is not recognisable.
