The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise in pasture. A raised circular area (33m E-W; 30.5m N-S) enclosed from NW-N-SSE by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.7-7.2m; H 0.6-0.75m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1.4-2.1m). There is no trace of a fosse. A report in 1990 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance was probably at S.
