The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on an E-facing slope in pasture. Raised oval area (dims. 28.7m NW-SE; c.18m NE-SW) enclosed at NE by the remains of a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3.6m; H 0.3m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1.2m). No fosse. The site is divided into unequal portions by a modern NW-SE field boundary. The smaller portion SW of this has been levelled and only its outline is now identifiable.
