The National Monuments Service's description

In improved pasture, on a N-facing slope. Oval area (overall dims. 18m NNW-SSE; c. 24m ENE-WSW) defined by scarp (Wth 2-2.5m; H 0.15-0.25m) from S-NNE, which is less pronouced from SE-S and levelled out from NNE-SE, an intervening fosse (Wth 6.9m; D 0.18m) from SE-W-N and the remains of an outer bank (Wth 8.2m; int. H 0.18m; ext. H 0.05m) from SE-W and NW-N, which has been reduced to a levelled scarp (Wth 3.8m; H 0.3m) in the N-ENE. There is a causeway (Wth 3.5m) across the fosse at the NW. The enclosure is transected by a field boundary running NNW-SSE across the ENE sector. A field boundary (long axis E-W) depicted on the 1904 edition OS 6-inch map, truncating the monument at S, has been removed.
