The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 19m) enclosed by a low broad earthen bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.2m). At the outer foot of the bank W-NNW and E-SE is a fosse (Wth 3.8m; D 0.2m). From NNW-N-NE the bank and the edge of the interior has been removed by a small quarry. A low spoil heap (diam. 8m; H 0.3m) lies immediately to the S of the quarry.
