The National Monuments Service's description
Near the summit of a locally prominent hill in pastureland. This poorly preserved circular enclosure (diam. 40.3m) is defined by a low scarp and an external fosse; the latter is not visible from SW to W. There is a causewayed gap (Wth 1.5m) at N and a slightly wider causewayed gap at E.
