The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pasture, adjacent to a farmyard. A subcircular area (21.2m N-S; 22.15m E-W) is enclosed by a bank (int. H 0.37m; ext. H 1.27m; Wth 2.6m). An area of quarrying (Wth 6m) is located at the SW. There is evidence of revettement at the SE, where large stones (L 0.7m; Wth 0.4m to L 0.3m; Wth 0.3m) form a regular setting. There is no trace of a fosse or an original entrance feature.
