The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight ESE-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. The site is depicted on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an oval-shaped enclosure. The E half of the site has since been removed. Remains comprise a roughly semi-circular area (9m N-S; 7m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 3.5m; H 0.3m) of earth and stone. From NNE-E-S-W the bank is absent. The original entrance is not recognisable.
