The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. A concentric enclosure (TS062-059001-) is located c. 120m to the SSE and an earthwork (TS062-059003-) is located immediately to the S. The enclosure has been levelled but is still visible as roughly circular area (diam. 50-60m N-S; 56m E-W) defined by a low bank and scarp (Wth 4m; ext. H 0.34m). A telegraph pole is located 3m beyond the base of the bank in the SSE quadrant.
