The monument comprises the remains of an earthwork/stone-built enclosure. The enclosure is roughly square and lies on a gradual north-facing slope. The single bank averages c.1.0m high, with a quarry ditch up to c.0.5m deep, constructed internally on the west and north sides and externally on the south and east.
