The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight NW-facing slope near summit of hillock, in gently undulating pasture. Circular slightly raised area (diam. 11m) defined by a low bank of earth (Wth 2.65m; int. H 0.3m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.35m). A break in the bank (Wth 1.15m) with an irregular causeway across the fosse appears to be modern. At the centre of the interior is a slightly raised area (diam. 4m), defined by a faint scarped edge, which may mark the remains of a central mound.
