The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular area divided into equal portions by a N-S field boundary. The portion of the site which lay to the E of the field boundary has been levelled and there are no remains of it now visible at ground level. Remains comprise a D-shaped slightly raised area (dims. 18m N-S; 13.5m E-W) whose straight side is defined by the remains of the field boundary and the curvilinear portion by a wide, low earthen bank (Wth 6.4m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable.
