The National Monuments Service's description
On a very low rise in an area of pastureland and limestone outcrops, within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). This truncated subcircular enclosure (19m E-W; 18m N-S) is defined from NW to SE by a scarp (H 0.7-1m). From NW to NNW there is a length of bank (H 0.1-0.2m) along the top of the scarp. A modern NW-SE field wall overlies the SW quadrant of the enclosure, with no extant remains visible to the SW of this wall. The remainder of the interior to the NW of the wall is slightly concave.
