The National Monuments Service's description
On the N slopes of highland overlooking river valley, in rolling grassland. There are excellent views in all directions. A circular feature (diam. c. 43m) is indicated by a dashed line on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map but is not depicted on the 1946-7 revision. The enclosure is visible at ground level defined by a low bank (int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.2-0.4m except in S-SW sector where it is c. 1m).
