The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a slight rise, with lowlying and wetter ground to NW, in an area of undulating terrain and limestone ridges. Slightly raised, subrectangular area (c. 9m E–W; 10.4m N–S) defined on the perimeter by a low, broadly slumped rim (Wth 3-3.5; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.4m), with a very low area or gap (Wth c. 2m) at W. A large stone is embedded in the rim at the SW. A barely discernible linear rise, probably a levelled field boundary, extends to WSW from the W side of the structure. The function and date of this structure is uncertain.
