The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight rise in gently undulating pasture. The site is depicted as a roughly circular enclosure on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The S half of the enclosure has since been removed. The remains comprise a slightly raised, semi-circular area (dims. 19m E-W; 10m N-S) defined by scarp (H 0.6m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable.
