The 1837 edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map depicted the site as a roughly oval-shaped partially tree-lined earthwork bisected by a field boundary running northwest to southeast. The revised 1910 edition Ordnance Survey 25-inch map showed a roughly oval-shaped earthwork measuring approximately 55 metres northwest to southeast and 50 metres northeast to southwest, cut by a field boundary running northeast to southwest across the southeast sector.
