The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle NW-facing slope. A raised oval area (28m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an overgrown bank (Wth 5.85m; int. H. 0.25m; ext. H 1.05m) ENE-NE and by a scarp NE-ENE. The earthen bank is clear from overgrowth NNW-NE. There is an entrance (Wth 2.5m) at ENE. The interior slopes down gently to the NW. There is dense overgrowth in the S and SE sectors of the interior.
