The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the flood plain of a river. A sub-oval area (dims. 44m ESE-WNW; 35m NNE-SSW) defined by the remains of a levelled bank (Wth 7.25m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.05m). The bank survives from WNW-ENE and is reduced to scarp (Wth 5m; H 0.5m) SE-WNW. The monument is badly damaged from ENE-SE. The interior has a gentle SW-facing slope, with a higher area of level ground (dims. 14m ESE-WNW; 12m NNE-SSW) within the SE quadrant. According to local information the monument was levelled in the late 1970s.
