The National Monuments Service's description
On a SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 47m) enclosed by a substantial, although much-eroded, bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.4-7.2m; H 0.5-1.9m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 5.5m; D 0.2-0.7m). The fosse has been infilled from S-W-WNW and its outline is marked by a low berm. The SE quadrant has been destroyed due to the construction of a silage pit. The original entrance is not recognisable.
