The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (dims. 32m N-S; 31m E-W) enclosed by a low, broad bank of earth (Wth 4.25m; int. H 0.35m). At NW and at SW the bank is absent and the defining element is a scarp (H 2.3m). The bank has been removed and the edge of the site removed from NE-E and from SE-SW. There is no fosse visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable.
