The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SSW-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised roughly circular area (diam. c.25m) enclosed by a broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable. The site is overgrown and inaccessible except for a portion of the bank at N. The site is bisected by a WNW-ESE orientated field boundary bank. A NNE-WSW orientated field boundary bank abuts the site E-SE.
