The National Monuments Service's description

In gently undulating terrain, just off the crest off a hill on a SSW-facing slope, in meadow. Depicted as roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 42m N-S; c. 38m E-W) on the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map and as a slightly smaller circular enclosure (diam. c. 27m N-S; c. 28m E-W) on the 1904-05 ed., though on both maps the monument is enclosed by a field boundary. The monument is heavily overgrown with scrub and has been badly cattle poached. It is defined by scarp (H 1.72m over 4m) and a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2m; D 1.14m over 3m). The scarp has been eroded (Wth 3m) in SSE quadrant with collapsed earth falling into the fosse. The interior slopes to the SSW. There is a possible entrance in the E quadrant (Wth 2m) with a ramp and causeway over the fosse.
