The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 33m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 1.35m) which is tangentially abutted at NE by a road. Recent stone facing has been added to the external face of the bank NW-S. The bank has been disturbed at NE by the planting of shrubs and at N by the erection of a lamp post. Building debris has been dumped along the SE bank. The interior is level and has been planted with trees. A narrow break (Wth 0.5m) at SW is blocked by a stone. A church has been built in the adjacent field to the W.
