The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of an E-W ridge at the base of the S slope of the Ox Mountains. Raised circular area (diam. 18.5m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) with ephemeral remains of an external fosse (Wth 2.5-3m). The bank and fosse are truncated at S by an E-W field boundary, and a field drain (Wth 1.5m) abuts the outer edge of the fosse at E. Within the SW quadrant is a slightly raised cresentic feature (max. dim. 2.5m) which may be the result of modern disturbance.
