The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-facing slope in an area of mixed farming with bogland visible from NW to E. This oval enclosure (77.5m NE-SW; 65m NW-SE), in fair condition, is defined by an earthen bank which is overlain from S to WSW by a field fence. A number of hawthorn bushes are growing on the bank. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at N, E and SE. An earthen bank running NE-SW through the centre of the interior appears to be an associated internal division.
