The National Monuments Service's description
On level pasture at the W foot of a low knoll, 11m E of the Slate River. A very poorly preserved, sub-circular area (diams. 6.4m N-S; 6.1m E-W) is defined by a shallow, inner fosse (Wth 0.7m at N-2m at W; D 0.15m), and a very low, outer earthen bank (Wth 2.7m-5.4m; H 0.2m) NNW-SE. The ground immediately outside the monument along the W is poached by livestock.
