The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, situated on a ridge, overlooking a stream c. 150m to W. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Raised D-shaped area (37.5m NW-SE; 24.4m NW-SE to fence at NE) enclosed on the curving side at SE-NNW by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.9m, at S), and on the straight side to NE by a field fence on a NW-SE axis. To NE of this field fence, the enclosure has been levelled. Original entrance not recognisable. The internal area is occupied by a central gently domed, raised area (diam. 18m N-S; max. H 1.1m). There is a level area (Wth 5.5m - 9m) between this feature and inner foot of the bank.
