The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight SSW facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised, subrectangular area (20m N-S; 17m E-W) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at NW marks the position of the original entrance. A slightly curved length of a low NW-SE orientated earth and stone bank (L 6m; Wth 3.6m; H 0.3m) extends from the outer face of the enclosure bank immediately to the S of the entrance. In the NE corner of the interior against the internal face of the bank is a quarry hole (4m square; D 0.2m).
