The National Monuments Service's description
In improved, generally level, wet pasture. A sub-circular area (dims. 14m NE-SW; 11m NW-SE) defined by the remains of a low bank (overall Wth 2.3m; Wth at top 0.6m; int. H 0.18m; ext. H 0.45m) at SW and NW, elsewhere the bank is reduced to scarp (Wth 0.85m; H 0.3m) and an outer fosse (Wth 2.35-2.45m; D 0.05-0.15m). The scarp and fosse have been straightened across the NE sector. The interior is generally level and is planted with blackthorn trees. There are numerous undulations across the field to SW and SE.
