The National Monuments Service's description
In enclosed area, abutting farmyard to W and enclosed by woodland to N and pasture to E and S. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by substantial earthen bank (overall Wth 6m; Wth at top 2m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 2.25m) which is very well preserved. Fosse (overall Wth 9.5m; basal Wth 3m; D 0.35m) seen S-SW is truncated by farmyard across W-sector. Fosse may survive NW-NNE and SE-S, but not seen due to dense vegetation. Monument is densely overgrown by ivy and mature trees and interior is inaccessible.
