The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level pasture. Circular area (diam. 21m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3.6m - 6.5m; int. H 0.2m - 1.3m) which incorporates much field clearance debris. The bank is barely discernible from WSW-W-NNW where the site is bordered by a modern roadway. Some large stones visible at N may be the remnants of a kerb. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable.
