The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the E edge of a low plateau. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and RMP (1996). A circular scrub- and tree-covered area (int. diam. 31.4m NE-SW; 31m NW-SE) defined by a stone spread (Wth 5-7m generally to 8.5m at SE; int. H 0.6-1m; ext. H 0.8-1.4m). Occasional facing stones are visible, but the original width of the wall cannot be gauged, and the original entrance cannot be identified. There is a small hut site (CL033-042002-) inside the perimeter at N. A pathway (Wth 1.6m) bordered by collapsed walls crosses the monument WNW-ESE.
