The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, on slight E-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.20m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.85m; int. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NNE-ESE the bank is absent and the site is defined by a scarped edge (ext. H 0.5-1.5m) that increases in height from NNE-ESE to compensate for the underlying natural slope. From ESE-SSW the edge of the site is defined by a NE-SW orientated public road. The original entrance is not recognisable.
