The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight NW-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 15m) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 6.4m; int. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank encloses the site W-S. From S-SW the bank has been removed by a small quarry. From SW-W the edge of the site is defined by an irregular scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable. An ENE-WSW orientated field boundary bank with a drain crosses the interior to N of centre cutting through the bank at W and at NE. The interior to the S of this boundary is heavily disturbed by quarrying.
