The National Monuments Service's description
The top of an oval-shaped natural platform c. 30m E-W and 15m N-S is partially enclosed by the remains of a bank up to 1m in height. The bank which is composed of gravelly earth and stones is much defaced and absent for stretches in the S and W. The site is located in an elevated position surrounded by rough grazing.
