The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in an area of dense scrub. Hachured on the 1840 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps. A circular overgrown area (int. diam. c. 20m) defined by a stone spread (Wth 5.4m-6.5m; int. H 0.6-1m; ext. H 0.6-0.8m) which could only be examined SE-SW. On inspection in 2004 the rest of the site was impenetrable.
