The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S side of a high, gradual rise, in pasture, with excellent views to E, SE and S. Monument described as a subrectangular-shaped area enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank, a gap at SE probably represents the entrance. The inner earth and stone bank is almost reduced to a scarp and is much disturbed by modern gaps at W, NW and E. The fosse is visible along the NE side and along the NW half of the SW side. There is a very low outer bank on the NE side only. The interior has a gentle SE-facing slope and is scattered with loose stones. A house site (WM025-091001-) adjoins the interior of the bank at SW and a souterrain (WM025-091002-) is located in the NE quadrant.
