The National Monuments Service's description
On a level summit of a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by a low broad bank of earth (Wth 5m; int. H 0.3m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.3m). Both the bank and the fosse enclose the entire site having a consistent profile along the entire circuit. A break (Wth 2.3m) in the bank with a causeway across the fosse at SE marks the position of the original entrance.
