The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope with views to The Paps of Dana. A circular area (diam. 18m) defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1m) topped intermittently with stone and largely obscured by bushes and trees. Rubble is piled against the internal and external faces of the bank at SW. A break (Wth 3.1m) in the bank at NE may indicate the entrance. There is a possible souterrain (KE067-024001-) in the centre of the interior.
