The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, broken by karst outcropping. Circular area (24m E–W; 23m N–S) enclosed by slight remnants of a stone bank/wall. The enclosing wall is evident only as a very low-profile, moss- and sod-covered rise (Wth 2-2.7m; H 0.4-0.45m), from which stones protrude randomly at NE–SE. It is barely discernible along the NW arc. The interior is flat and not raised above exterior ground level. Occasional low stones break the surface. There is an enclosure (DG104-015----) 35m to SE in the same field, and another (DG104-016----) c. 100m to NE in an adjoining field.
