The National Monuments Service's description
In improved, gently undulating pasture, on a low rise. Circular area (dims. 34m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by the remains of a levelled bank (overall Wth 8.9m; Wth at top 2.75m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) and well preserved outer fosse (Wth 5.8m; D 0.7m). The bank is visible from SW-NW and is reduced to scarp (Wth 1.65m; H 1.25m) NW-SW. There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 6m) at the SSE. The interior has a gentle S-facing slope and has a slight depression just within the entrance. An enclosure (TS059-014001-) lies c. 7m to the W and another enclosure (TS059-103----) is located c. 110m to the NE.
