The National Monuments Service's description
In poorly drained, generally level pasture. Monument identified on an aerial photograph (ASIAP (312)26 13/09/02). Enclosure (TS060-045----) is c. 34m to W. Sub-circular area (dims. 18m NNW-SSE; 16m ENE-WSW) defined by scarp (Wth 1.5m; H 0.45m) which has been straightened across WSW-sector due to linear drain on this side and also along N-sector, where fosse re-cut as drain. Possible entrance (overall Wth 5.5m; basal Wth 3m) at SE where it is cut into interior ground level and covered in yellow flags. Fosse (overall Wth 5.1m; basal Wth 2.5m; D 0.2m) is best preserved NE-ESE and possibly at SW where it appears unmodified. Fosse traceable ESE-SW and straightened and backfilled across WSW-sector and straightened and re-cut across N-sector. Fosse obscured NW-N by dense briars encroaching onto scarp. Interior has a gentle depression within from where ground slopes upwards to upper edge of scarp.
