The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the NE end of a roughly N-S ridge. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Partially destroyed enclosure. Remains comprise an irregularly-shaped raised area (max. dim. 20m) defined from N-E-SE by a curving scarp. At W the defining element is a disused, but probably relatively modern, linear field boundary aligned NNE-SSW. At S the defining element is a modern linear field boundary aligned ENE-WSW. No bank or fosse. Original entrance not recognisable.
