The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a steep W-facing slope on ground that falls away to a stream. The site comprises a horseshoe-shaped enclosure (int. diam.24m) which opens onto the E. The enclosing wall is formed by an inner and outer line of large stones retaining a rubble core (Wth 2-2.5m; H 0.9m). Entered through a gap in the NNW which may be an original feature.
