The National Monuments Service's description
At the NW end of small NW-SE valley, a little below the crest of a hill, with land sloping fairly gently to the valley floor to the S and SW, in wet pasture. There are moderate views within the valley. A circular enclosure (diam. 35m N-S; 39m E-W) defined by a bank (int. H c. 0.4m; ext. H 1m; Wth 1.5m). In the flat interior there is a pit (dims. 4m N-S x 6m E-W; D c. 60m) at the centre and a possible house platform SE of centre, consisting of a slight rectangular depression (dims. 3m NE-SW x 5m NW-SE; D 0.2m) orientated NW-SE.
