The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in undulating fertile land, once part of an estate. A D-shaped enclosure (13m N-S) with a straight S side (L 26.25m) defined by a drystone field wall similar to adjacent boundaries. There is no indication that the feature was originally circular. The interior contains outcropping limestone and is otherwise featureless.
