The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SW-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (dims. 28m E-W; 27m N-S) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.05m; int. H 0.3m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 3.75m; D 0.3m). From SE-W the bank is absent and the circuit is defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.2m). The fosse is infilled with only slight traces visible SE-WSW. The original entrance is not recognisable. A modern concrete causeway (Wth 2.4m) crosses the fosse at W.
