The National Monuments Service's description
In level wet pasture, 10m to the E of a NE-SW flowing stream. Circular slightly raised area (diam. 28m) defined by a low internal earthen bank (overall Wth 4.7m; Wth at top 1m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) with an external narrow flat-bottomed fosse (overall Wth 2m; Wth at base 0.6m; D 0.2m). The internal bank has a low irregular profile and is best preserved NE-W. The fosse is very shallow and difficult to discern at ground level S-NW. Two NE-SW orientated relic field drains link to the fosse at NE and S and the drain has been widened (Wth at base 2m) between the two drains NE-S. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is clear of overgrowth, undulates gently and is slightly raised at the centre.
