The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Slight raised, roughly oval area (36m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank (Wth 5.1m; int. H 0.2m) of earth and stone. There is no visible trace of a fosse at ground level. From NW-ESE, the bank has been removed and the edge of the site is defined by a natural scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is partially divided by a low NNE-SSW bank (Wth 2m; H 0.2m) of earth and stone that links to the inner face of the enclosure bank at W.
