The National Monuments Service's description
In generally level pasture. Circular area (diam. c. 25m) defined by bank (overall Wth 8.7m; Wth at top 0.9m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.15m) which is reduced to scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.7m) WNW-NNW. Possible entrance (Wth 3.4m) at SW where fosse is backfilled slightly. Fosse (overall Wth 6.15m; basal Wth 1.9m; D 0.2m) is best defined SE-WSW and is less shallower (overall Wth 9.75m; Wth at base 3.75m; D 0.15m) WSW-NE. Fosse is truncated by field boundary across E-sector and a second boundary (long-axis WSW-ENE) crosses fosse at WSW. Interior is generally level and contains occasional mature trees.
