The National Monuments Service's description
On a hummock in marshy grassland. When inspected in June 1984 this poorly preserved almost square enclosure (22m NW-SE; 21m NE-SW) was defined by a stony earthen bank along the S, W and N sides and by a scarp along the E side. Numerous trees that had been growing on it had been felled. The current OSi digitalglobe aerial photography (March 2016) indicates that the monument has since been levelled.
