The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level elevated pasture. Oval slightly raised area (dims. 30m E-W; 24m N-S) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; int. H 1m). At the external base of the bank is a fosse (Wth 3.9m; D 0.2m). A modern N-S orientated earth and stone field boundary bank has been built on top of the bank N-S. The fosse encloses the site S-N and is absent elsewhere. The original entrance is not recognisable.
