The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised, roughly circular area (dims. 29m N-S; 26m E-W) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 1.6m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The scarped edge, although very uneven, is best preserved SW-NE. From NE-SW the scarped edge has been cut back and straightened. The original entrance is not recognisable
