The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope, at base of Bailocke Mountain. Circular area (27.7m E-W; 27.5m N-S) enclosed by low, worn, earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.2m); external fosse (D 1m) S->SW. Field clearance stones dumped on bank and fosse. Bank broken to NNE (Wth 1m), SE (Wth 0.8m) and WSW (Wth 1.8m). Interior raised on N side to compensate for hillslope. Remains of cultivation ridges cross W half of interior; two ridges broken at centre by grass-covered mound (2m x 1.3m) partially composed of field clearance stones. Possible souterrain (CO041-178---) at centre, according to Bowman (1934, 541).
