The National Monuments Service's description
In flat to gently undulating open pastureland. Aerial reconnaissance (ASGAP 190:90) revealed an enclosure which, on inspection, proved to be circular in plan (diam. c. 80m) and very poorly preserved. It was defined by a low scarp from SW through W to ENE; otherwise no visible surface trace survived.
