The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (15m E-W; 14m N-S) enclosed by a low bank of earth (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.3m) with an external fosse (Wth 3.1m; D 0.3m). The bank is absent from SE-SW and a modern NE-SW orientated mortared stone wall abuts the edge of the enclosure at S. The fosse encloses the site NE-SE and is absent elsewhere. The original entrance is not recognisable.
