The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a moderate SW-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.6m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 0.6m). The bank and fosse enclose the site on all sides and both have a regular profile. The original entrance is not recognisable. There are small livestock tracks (all 0.4-0.8m in width) through the bank at N, E, SE and SW.
