The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised, roughly circular area (26m E-W; 23m N-S) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth (Wth 4.8m; int. H 1.1m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The inner face of the bank is vertical and revetted with large limestone blocks (av. 0.5m x 0.3m x 0.2m) laid up to three courses high. A break (Wth 3.75m) in the bank at SE marks the position of the original entrance.
