The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight NE-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (dims. 21m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by a broad, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.95m; int. H 0.4m) with a wide external fosse (Wth 8.25m; D 0.3m) visible from SW-ESE. From NW-NE and from ESE-SW the bank is absent and the enclosing element is a scarp (H 1.8m). The edge of the site is incorporated into a field wall SE-SW. The original entrance is not discernable. Wall footings of derelict farmhouse abut the edge of the site at SE.
