The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise in pasture. A circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed from E-SE-S by the remains of a levelled bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.4m; H 0.5m) and defined by a scarp (H 0.2m) from SSW-SW-W. The N half has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse and suggested that the original entrance may have been at SSW. These features are are no longer identifiable.Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan
