Monument surveyed by National Monuments Service in 1987 and described as following; 'On high ground in pasture land. There are extensive views in all directions. This is a roughly circular enclosure defined by a low earthen bank with slight traces of an external fosse. The fort is contacted on the E and S by an old field fence outside of which to the E a new road runs through the land in a N-S direction. The interior of the fort is overgrown with scrub and piles of stone from field clearance have been piled on the NE side, obscuring features and rendering it difficult to describe. The bank and fosse are defaced in a number of places, i.e. on the NW, N and E and they are best preserved from NE-E and on the SW. The fort is only 40m in diameter from N-S and is situated in undulating pasture with extensive views in all directions ' (SMR File 01/05/1987).
