The National Monuments Service's description
On open, level wet ground in rushes. This small circular enclosure (diam. 13.5m N-S) is defined by a mixture of large flags set on edge, double-faced wall and grassed-covered collapsed wall (av. Wth 0.7m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.6m). The enclosing element has been removed between NNE and ESE and a wide gap (Wth 1.8m) at the SSE which may be an original entrance.
