The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 23m) defined by an internal low broad earthen bank (overall Wth 6.3m; Wth at top 2.1m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1m) with an external wide flat-bottomed fosse (overall Wth 4.8m; Wth at base 3m; D 0.3m). The fosse is best preserved W-E being very low and difficult to discern SW-W and E-SE. The fosse is not visible SE-SW where a modern E-W orientated field bank skirts the external base of the bank SSE-SSW. A break (Wth 4m) in the internal bank at SE marks the position of the original entrance. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
