The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the S edge of a ridge of high ground in undulating pasture. Raised oval-shaped area (c. 38m N-S; c. 28m E-W) enclosed at S–W by remnants of an earthen bank (Wth 3-4m; max. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m). At N the bank is levelled and at E it is reduced to a scarp (ext. H 1.6m) merging with the natural ridge slope. At W a quarry hole (9m E–W; 7m N–S) extends through the bank into the enclosed area.
