The National Monuments Service's description
On a gently sloping terrace, on the very steep W side of a N-S valley, at 700 feet. Mostly rough pasture on the valley sides. Good views to N, E and S but poor up hill to W. A small roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 13m) defined by a degraded earthen bank (Wth 1.75m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 0.5-1m) planted with thorn bushes. The flat interior, slopes to the E and is very wet and cattle trampled. There is a gap (Wth 3m) in the W quadrant which may be the original entrance.
