The National Monuments Service's description

In improved pasture, on a W-facing slope. Conjoined to enclosure (TS062-062----) which lies to the N. A sub-rectangular area (dims. 24m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by the remains of levelled scarp (Wth 2.85m; H 0.65m) at the E end of the N side, to the E and S (Wth 0.9m; H 0.12m) and from SW-W-NW (Wth 3.3m; H 1.4m); a shallow fosse (overall Wth 4m; basal Wth 1.3m; D 0.12m) to S and are SW-W-NW (overall Wth 7.4m; basal Wth 1.5m; D 0.65m) and an outer bank (overall Wth 6m; Wth at top 1m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.6m) which is best preserved from SW-W-NW while a lower, narrower version defines the S side. The interior slopes down gently to W. There is no evidence of a scarp or fosse in the N quadrant where the enclosures are conjoined and the ground is level between the two monuments. The fosse appears to have been quarried in the NW quadrant and there is a short section of fosse at the E and W end of N side which it shares with the conjoined enclosure. A large curving section of the W bank of both enclosures is clearly indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map, though by the 2nd (1903-04) ed. they are depicted as being part of the same monument.
