The National Monuments Service's description
In good pasture, on a high ridge, overlooking a natural hollow to the W. An oval area (dims. 18m NW-SE; 11m NE-SW) defined by scarp (Wth 7.6m; H 1.55-2.05m), an intervening fosse (Wth 11.8-12.85m; D 0.25-0.8m) from ESE-NW and an outer bank (Wth 8.6-10.1m; int. H 0.25-0.8m; ext. H 0.25-0.5m) from SSE-NNW, which is best defined in the NW quadrant. There are the possible remains of an outer fosse (Wth 3.1m; D 0.15m) at the NNW and SE-S. The scarp is highest from NNW-ESE. The interior has a gentle SE-facing slope. A field boundary running N-S immediately E follows the line of an old flood plain. A field boundary to the S has been removed. Enclosures (TS059-036---- and TS059-038----) are c. 160m to W and c. 285m to SW respectively.
