The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating pasture with small stream 30m to the W. Views are moderate to good in all directions. Raised circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by a very broad bank of earth (Wth 8.1m; int. H 0.7m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From SE-W the bank has been removed and the site is defined by a scarped edge (ext. H 1.2m). Traces of the bank are visible on top of the scarped edge. The original entrance is not recognisable.
