The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the break of a S-facing slope. A circular area (c. 24m E-W) defined by the faint trace of a bank W-E and by a scarp (H 1.6m to the break of slope at S) E-W. The bank and scarp are covered with overgrowth, making inspection difficult. The interior is partially covered with overgrowth and slopes down to the S. There is a possible souterrain (KE058-034001-) in the NW quadrant.
