The National Monuments Service's description
In level farmland. This subcircular enclosure (c. 74m E-W; c. 70m N-Sm), in fair condition, is defined by a bank of earth and stone from S through W to NE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A gap at S may be original. Hawthorn bushes are growing on the outer slopes of the bank and along the scarp.
