The National Monuments Service's description
On a gradual NW-facing slope of Moorabbey Hill, in meadow. The enclosure is levelled but is still visible as an oval cropmark (diam. 25.5m N-S; 30m E-W), with a NE-SW field boundary slightly truncating the E quadrant. A cropmark (Wth 2.1-2.4m) indicates the presence of an enclosing fosse. The interior slopes with the natural slope.
