The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Originally circular but now truncated by a lane and comprising a roughly circular raised area (dims. 25m E-W; 23m N-S) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 1.8m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The scarped edge is best preserved NE-SSW and is very slight SSW-WNW. From WNW-NE the site has been truncated by a NE-SW orientated lane. The original entrance is not recognisable.
