The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level pasture. Raised roughly oval area (dims. c. 30m N-S; c. 25m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 6.2m; H 0.6m) with an external fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.1m). From WSW-NNW the bank is incorporated into a field boundary and has been partially removed from WNW-SE. The fosse is mostly infilled with field clearance debris. The original entrance is not recognisable. The site is densely overgrown with scrub.
