The National Monuments Service's description
In generally level area of young forestry plantation ESE-N and improved pasture to E. An enclosure (TS062-104----) lies c. 100m to the SSW. A roughly circular area (dims. 38m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by the remains of a bank reduced to scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.45m) SW-N-ESE which is higher downslope to ESE-S-SW (Wth 2.3m; H 0.65m) and a wide, shallow fosse (overall Wth 4.1m; basal Wth 1.8m; D 0.25m). There are gaps in the bank/scarp at the NNW, NE and S (Wth 2m; Wth 2.75m and Wth 4m respectively). A field boundary has been backfilled (Wth 5m) into the fosse at NNW. The remains of a levelled field boundary (overall Wth 3.05m; Wth at top 1.25m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.2m) are visible from SW-N-E. The interior is generally level with a slight tilt downslope to ESE. There is a forestry buffer zone of 16m from SE-W-N.
