The National Monuments Service's description
On level ground in gently undulating improved pasture. General condition is poor. The enclosure appears to have been circular originally but has been largely levelled with approximately 40% of the circuit not visible at ground level and the remainder being very low in profile. Enclosure appears to have been circular originally but now consists of a slightly raised roughly D-shaped area (dims. 23.5m NE-SW; c. 18m NW-SE) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth 2.3m; H 0.3m) S-NE. The scarp has been levelled NE-S and is not visible at ground level. The interior undulates slightly and is clear of overgrowth.
