The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight WSW facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.4m) with an external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.1m). The site is divided into two parts by a public NNE-SSW orientated roadway (Wth road 11m). From NNE-SSW, to the E of the roadway, the site has been partially levelled leaving low remains. The fosse is visible from NE-E and from SE-SW. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at NE possibly marks the position of the original entrance.
