The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on an E-facing slope, with views N to Farranfore. A circular area (35m N-S; 33.5m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 5.2m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 1.8m) of earth and stone, and by the remnants of an external fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.3m) NW-N and ESE-SW. Field-clearance debris, piled intermittently on the overgrown bank, and against the internal and external faces of the bank, may have distorted and obscured the original enclosing elements. The interior slopes down to the E. Breaks in the bank at SW (Wth 4.2m) and at NE (Wth 3.5m), respectively, allow machinery access to the interior. There is a possible fulacht fia (KE048-057002-) in the interior.
