The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a naturally-occurring spur of raised ground. Raised ovoid or subtriangular area (dims. 27m WNW-ESE; 21.4m NE-SW). Its N, S and W sides are defined by a steeply-sloping scarp. At E the neck of the spur is cut off by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3.7m; H 0.45m) with an external fosse (Wth. 1.6m - 2.7m; D 0.35m). A short distance NE of the centre of the interior is a low raised platform (dims. 14.5m NW-SE; 9.2m NE-SW).
