A roadway cut through the site, destroying much of the interior and part of the boundary. The remaining earthworks form a shallow circular ridge about twenty-five metres across on a gentle rise in pasture.
Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) defined from NE-E-SW by a scarp (H 1m). The remainder of the perimeter and much of the internal area have been destroyed as a consequence of the construction of a NE-SW roadway.
