Situated c. 20m SE of a stream on a slight W-facing slope at the NW end of a NW-SE ridge in pasture with very good views from SW-N-S. A very overgrown and largely inaccessible suboval enclosure (int. dims. c. 25m NW-SE; c. 17m SW-NE; c. 40m overall NW-SE) represented by hachures on the OS 25-inch plan (surveyed 1913-18) and by just a few hachures on the OS 6-inch map (1916). The monument is mostly covered in hazel scrub and gorse but appears to comprise a central platform or mound (H at NW where exposed 2.85m), partially utilising existing outcropping rock, with a wide, deep, flat external fosse from N to S (Wth 2.1m), shallow SW to N (Wth 1.83m). An external bank extends SW-SE and is most substantial along the E side (at NE Wth 4.25m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.55m; at SW Wth 1.52m; int. H 0.33m; ext. H 0.65m). There is no discernible entrance although some field clearance up against the NE portion may conceal an entrance. A drystone wall abuts the site at S and seals off access into the deep fosse. This previously extended to meet the field wall at W but has been removed.
