The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SW-facing slope in gently undulating pasture with a vertical natural W-facing limestone scarp immediately to W. Roughly semi-circular area (dims. 10mWNW-ESE; 6m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.45m; int. H 0.5m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 4.25m; D 0.5m). The bank and fosse encloses the site WNW-ESE and have an irregular profile. The bank narrows ENE-ESE (Wth 3m; int. H 0.3m) and becomes very denuded. The original entrance is not recognisable.
