The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise, in undulating pasture. Monument described in 1971 as a subrectangular-shaped area enclosed by a bank and external fosse with entrance (Wth at top 3.9m; Wth at base 2.9m) at E. The earth and stone bank is disturbed and eroded and has slight remains of an internal stone facing at ENE. The fosse is best preserved at E and elsewhere it is obscured on the exterior. The interior has a general SE-facing slope. The monument is surrounded by field boundaries.
