The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise on gently S sloping pasture. Originally circular, slightly raised area (diam. c.33m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 2m - 2.5m; int. H 0.2m - 0.5m) with an external fosse (Wth. 5.8m; D 0.2m) which is identifiable from WSW-NW-NNW. Most of the S half of the site has been destroyed by quarrying. The remainder of the site is divided into approx. equal portions by a modern NNE-SSW field boundary. The SE part of the site is truncated by a modern E-W field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable.
