The National Monuments Service's description
In a hollow with exposed karst and some scrub overlooked by higher ground to the N and S and within a multiperiod field system (CL005-227004-). A subcircular enclosure (int. 10m N-S; 9m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (av. Wth 0.8-1.5m), widest from SSW to WNW (Wth 2.3m). Stones within the bank are set on edge (max. H 0.4m) and many lean away from the interior. There is no trace of an entrance, but the bank is lowest along the E and NE. The interior is flat with no visible features. A small stream flows around the W, N and E of the enclosure.
