The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a NW-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 34m) defined by a bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.6m) of earth and stone NE-N and by a lower bank (Wth 8.1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.85m) N-NE. The N portion of the interior is raised (H 1.55m) above the external ground level to compensate for the hillslope. A depression (diam. 1.5m; D 0.4m) is visible in the W sector. There is an entrance (Wth c. 2.5m) at NNW.
