The National Monuments Service's description
On a SSW-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 39m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. On re-inspection in 1998 the monument was not visible at ground level.
