The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, on level ground, in densely overgrown area to rear of modern houses. Raised roughly circular area (diam. c.20m) enclosed by a broad bank of earth and stone (Wth c.4m; int. H c.0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank appears to enclose the site on all sides and has a uniform profile where partially accessible NW-N. The bank has been incorporated into modern property boundaries NNE-E and modern houses have been constructed 15m to the NW and SE of the site. The original entrance is not recognisable.
