The National Monuments Service's description
On a SSW-facing slope in pasture. A raised subcircular area (37.5m N-S; 32.5m E-W) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3-3.5m; H 0.5-0.65m). A low scarp (H 0.4-0.7m) is evident, c. 8m from the bank, from S-SSW-WSW. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse that is not visible. The original entrance is not recognisable.
