The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level summit of a low broad E-W orientated ridge, in gently undulating pasture. Raised oval area (dims. 33m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth 1.8m; ext. H 1.3m). At the external foot of the scarp is a wide fosse (Wth 7.4m; D 0.5m). From NW-SW the fosse is absent. A NNE-SSW orientated field boundary bank lies on top of the scarped edge NE-SE. The original entrance is not recognisable.
