The National Monuments Service's description

In poorly drained, undulating pasture on a low ridge. An enclosure (TS059-038----) is located immediately to the N. This possible enclosure adjoins to the SW. It consists of a curvilinear rise defined by a natural scarp (H 1.4m; max. Wth c. 14m) from NE-WSW, which is reduced to a lower scarp (H c. 1.2m; Wth c. 8m) from SW-WNW. A semi-circular area (dims. c. 34m NNE-SSW; c. 32m ENE-WSW) is defined by the possible remains of a levelled bank (int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.25m; Wth c. 5m) NE-WSW on the upper surface of the natural rise.
