The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the summit of a natural rise in undulating pasture. A sub-circular area (25.5m N-S; 22.5m E-W) is enclosed by a bank (int. H at N 0.5m; int H at S 0.15m; ext. H at N 0.55m; ext. H at S 1.25m; Wth at N 1m; Wth at S 0.34m). The bank is higher and wider at the N and to the S it consists of a narrow stone bank built on a stepped scarp. There is no fosse and there is no clear entrance feature, though there are a number of breaks in the bank.
