The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle rise, in undulating pasture, with good views from E-S-W and restricted to N. Monument described in 1971 and 1976 as an oval-shaped area (dims. 36m N-S; 31.7m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank and shallow external fosse. The low bank has been truncated by a field boundary running NNE-SSW across the WNW sector. There is a shallow fosse visible at S and NNW. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is slightly uneven and is featureless.
