The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight W-facing slope on a low elevation in an area of poorly drained, marshy pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 29m E-W; 26m N-S) enclosed by a low bank (Wth 3-4.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.85m), with an external fosse (Wth 3.5-4m; ext. D 0.3m) which appears as a shallow depression marked by a thick growth of rushes. There is a gap (Wth 3.5-4m), now blocked by boulders, in the bank at SE, with a causeway (Wth 4m) arcoss the fosse.
