The National Monuments Service's description
In level wet pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m) defined by a gently sloping earthen scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.6m) with a flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth at base 2.3m; overall Wth 4.4m; D 0.25m). From NW-NE a modern E-W orientated field boundary lies along the line of the fosse abutting the external base of the scarp at N. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior undulates slightly and is densely overgrown with briars in the NW quadrant with beech trees and bushes around the perimeter.
