The levelled site remains visible as a circular area 31 metres north-south and 29.6 metres east-west, enclosed by a low broad curving bank 8 metres wide and 0.2 to 0.3 metres high. That bank is best preserved at the southeast, southwest and north, while a northwest-southeast field boundary ditch clips the northeast edge.
