The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low N-S ridge. Raised circular area (diam. 32.7m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 6.9m; int. H 1.5m; external H 4.3m) with an external fosse (Wth 4m; ext D 1.5m at W). At the outer lip of the fosse there is a second bank (Wth 4m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 0.5-1.3m, at NE) which has been incorporated into a field boundary at NE-S, but has been levelled elsewhere. There is a stone-lined entrance gap (Wth 5m) in the inner bank at E. There is a possible souterrain (SL017-026001-) in the NE quadrant of the interior.
