The site consists of an oval platform 45m (NE-SW) by 38m. This is protected on the NE (uphill) end by a bank with outer ditch and in other places by outward-facing scarps about 0.8m high. There is no evidence that the site was inhabited.
There is a picnic area in the interior which can be reached by a metalled trackway.
