The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying pastureland. This subtrapezoidal enclosure (34m E-W; 25.5m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by a bank which is revetted with stone both internally and externally. The bank curves gently from roughly NW to NE and from SE to SW, and is fairly straight from NE to SE and from SW to NW. The monument widens towards its W end. There is a gap (Wth 4.5m) at E.
