The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a very gentle SW-facing slope. A sub-rectangular area (dims. 28m NE-SW; 26m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (Wth 2.2m; H 1.15m); a U-shaped fosse (overall Wth 6.65m; basal Wth 2.75m; D 0.55m) along the SW (L 23m), NW (L 30m) and NE (L 26m) sides but very poorly defined along the SE side (L 21m) and the remains of an outer bank (overall Wth 3.9m; Wth at top 1.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.15m) at the NW half of the SW side and possible remains at the SW end of the SE side. There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 3m) off-centre to SE of NE side. The interior has a gentle downslope to SW and is obscured by lush vegetation.
