The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on an ENE-facing slope. Sub-Oval area (dims. 70m E-W; 45m N-S) defined by remains of levelled scarp (Wth 5.75m; H 0.45m) ENE-SW. Possible entrance (Wth 10m) at SSE. No continuation of scarp visible in field to W. Field boundaries truncate monument to N and W. Berm (Wth c. 20m) separates the outer enclosure from the circular inner enclosure (dims. 24m N-S; 22m E-W) which is located off-centre to N. It is defined by bank (overall Wth 6.2m; Wth at top 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.5m) ESE-NE and reduced to scarp (Wth 3.3m; H 0.65m) NE-ESE. Fosse (overall Wth 5.65m; basal Wth 2.1m; D 0.95m) best preserved ESE-W and NW-NE. Fosse is poached and eroded by livestock at WNW and ENE. Interior is generally level and dish-shaped. Within enclosure (TS061-15 NEW/TS061-114004-). Concentric enclosure (TS061-114001-) is c. 10m to N.
