The National Monuments Service's description
Just SW of the summit of a NE-SW ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (int. diam. 27m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by a scrub-covered stone spread (Wth 2.8-5.8m; int. H 0.3-0.9m; ext. H 0.6-0.7m) with the original outer facing (H 0.2m) surviving NE-E. A field wall overlies the outer edge N-E and some spoil is added to the perimeter. There is no visible entrance, although it may have been at NNE or SSW where the perimeter is slightest.
