The National Monuments Service's description
On a low knoll in rolling pasture. A raised almost circular area (25m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed at ENE by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.3m; H 0.35m) and elsewhere by a scarp (H 0.85-1.25m). There is no trace of a fosse. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded that the original entrance was at SE.
