The National Monuments Service's description
Between the gently sloping valley sides and the valley floor, in rolling pasture. There are good views in all directions, even to the NE where the land rises slightly. Though heavily overgrown with trees and scrub, this appears to be a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m; H 2-3m) enclosed by slight bank at top and an external fosse at base of slope.
