The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in well drained grassland, with good views to the S & W. A circular shaped area (approx. diam. 42m N-S; 46m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank and wide shallow external fosse. The bank has several disturbance gaps and has been quarried away at NNE. There is an entrance gap at SW. The interior has a general slope from N-S, and has been quarried away on the SSW. It contains shallow depressions of unknown significance, probably quarry holes. A field fence running NNE-SSW intersects the monument at N & S.
