The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a N-facing slope with views SE to The Paps of Dana. A raised circular area (24m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 1.5m) partially obscured by overgrowth and with traces of stone facing on its internal face. A large boulder is incorporated into the bank at W and there is a break (Wth 2m) in the bank at NNW. The level interior is in pasture. A possible souterrain (KE067-048001-) is in the W sector and rock scribing (KE067-048002-) is c. 5m to the ESE. There is a standing stone (KE067-049----) c. 200m to the NE.
