The National Monuments Service's description
On the SE-facing slope of a hillock overlooking bogland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m); on the 1944-5 revision a NW-SE running field boundary clipped it at NE. Apart from a faint rise, no visible surface trace survives.
