The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised oval area (42m E-W; 37m N-S) enclosed by a bank (Wth 5.95m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.7m) of earth and stone with an external fosse (Wth 5.3m; D 0.75m). From NW-N and SE-S the bank is absent and the site defined by a scarped edge. The original entrance is not recognisable. The fosse is partially infilled by a trackway that skirts the edge of the site from NW-NE. The remains of a souterrain (SL011-044002-) are located in the SW quadrant of the interior.
