The National Monuments Service's description
On the SW-facing slope of a hill in pasture. Hachured on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure with only the NE showing hachures on the 1920 edition. A circular overgrown area (int. diam. 26m NW-SE) planted with trees and defined by an ivy-covered stone spread (Wth 3-4.4m; int. H 0.6-1.3m; ext. H 0.2-1m), which has a stone wall built on it from S to NE. The interior slopes markedly to the S. Field clearance rubble is piled along the outer edge in the N half.
