The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a N-facing slope; Excellent views NW-NE. Oval area (diam. c. 28m) defined by bank (Wth 5.3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 3.7m). Fosse (Wth 5.55m; D 1.7m) has been deepened to serve as a drainage channel NE-E-S. Fosse is not depicted on latest edition OS 6-inch map NE-ESE, so drainage channel here may be recent. A less defined fosse is evident S-SW, but is obscured by dense vegetation. Interior obscured by impenetrable vegetation for most part. Conjoined to enclosure (TS066-071----) to NNE and enclosure (TS066-071002-) to SE.
