The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope with views SE to the Paps of Dana. A circular area (diam. 34m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 8.6m; int. H 1.9m; ext. H 3.3m) and an external fosse (Wth 3.4m; D 1.7m), both of which are covered with overgrowth. There is a causeway entrance (Wth 2.5m) at SE. The bank is damaged and large stones are piled in the fosse and against the external face of the bank SE-S. The interior, largely obscured by overgrowth, slopes down gently to the S, where it is raised (H 1.5m) to compensate for the natural slope. There is a possible souterrain (KE067-027001-) in the interior.
