The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-facing slope, just below the crest in reclaimed pasture. The field boundary depicted on the 1904 revision OS 6-inch map to the W running N-S has been removed, probably when the monument was levelled. Despite being levelled, this enclosure is still visible as a circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by a broad, flat, low bank largely reduced to scarp (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.1-0.3m; ext. H 0.1-0.52m). There is a possible entrance in ESE where the bank is not obvious (Wth 4.5m). There is a slight suggestion of an outer fosse (Wth 2-2.5m; D 0.13m), more obvious in the N, E and W quadrants. The interior slopes to the E.
