The National Monuments Service's description
On summit of a high step-sided hill (OD c. 270m ), in mixed tillage and pasture. A circular area (diam. 58m) is defined by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.5-1m; ext H 0.7-1.2m) with external stone facing S-W-NE, and traces of a possible narrow, outer fosse (Wth 1m) S-W. No visible entrance. The tree-planted interior contains a centrally located, low circular mound of earth and stone (base diam. 10m; surface diam. 2m; H 0.6m), probably a trigonometrical station.
