The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, situated on top of a ridge with extensive views. Large slightly raised circular area (diam. 72m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 6.3m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 2.3m), with a very shallow external fosse (Wth 3.5-4m) visible at N-SE. A break (Wth 2.7m) in the bank at ESE may represent an original entrance. A wide, level raised area extends in an arc from the bank at S through the internal area towards the bank at E.
