The National Monuments Service's description
On the crest of ridge between the Deen and Gloshia river valleys. There are very fine views in all directions. A
roughly circular dome-shaped area (int. diam. c. 85m) enclosed by low, wide earthen bank (overall Wth c. 7m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H c. 2.2m on the W side where the land drops away). In the E sector the enclosing element has been removed and a field boundary runs roughly on the line of the former bank. There are a number of gaps in the bank.
