The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Identified from an aerial photograph. Situated on a level terrace on the NE-facing slope of a low ridge. Subcircular area (27m NE-SW; 25m NW-SE) enclosed from NW-NNW-N and from NE-E-SE by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.6-2.6m; H 0.6-0.8m). Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp. Break in bank at NE (Wth 2m) may represent original entrance. The site is divided into unequal portions by a NNE-SSW field boundary.
