The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level summit of a narrow NE-SW orientated ridge, on the NW facing lower slopes of Cope's Mountain, in pasture. The monument is located at the SW end of the ridge. Slightly raised oval area (dims. 33m NE-SW; 19m NW-SE) enclosed by a narrow bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.7m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From ESE-N the bank is very low in profile and discontinuous. A break (Wth 1.7m) in the bank at NE may mark the position of the original entrance.
