The National Monuments Service's description

In improved pasture, on the edge of a precipice with a small valley to the E. This sub-rectangular enclosure appears to overlie the N enclosing elements of a large enclosure (TS058-081---) and may be contemporary with a moated site (TS058-080----) which is located immediately to the S and with which it shares the intervening fosse, which continues eastward down the precipice slope and appears to truncate the enclosing elements of the large enclosure. The enclosure (dims. 22m E-W; 17m N-S) is defined by the remains of a low scarp (Wth 2.2m; H 0.4m) to S and W; a barely traceable scarp (Wth 1.35m; H 0.2m) to N; a natural linear scarp to E and by a conjoined fosse (overall Wth 5.9m; basal Wth 2.2m; D 0.2m) to S and the shallow remains of a fosse (overall Wth 4.1m; basal Wth 2m; D 0.05m) to W and N. There are the possible remains of an outer bank (overall Wth 5.3m; Wth at top 1.5m; int. H 0.05m; ext. H 0.4m) to W and N. The interior slopes to the E.
