The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in pasture, with a turlough c. 50m to the NW. A subcircular enclosure (ext. diam. 13.2 x 15.3m) defined by a wall formed of large and small stones. The enclosing wall is best preserved along the E and N sides of the monument (Wth 1.8m) with the central core consisting of small stones. The wall is badly disturbed on the S and W sides. The interior contains numerous stones, some of which are very large and which may relate to internal structures. The monument is overgrown with mature trees which have caused disturbance to its features. Parts of the enclosure wall are also covered by moss and ivy.
