The National Monuments Service's description
On a terrace on the W slope of Corn Hill. A raised circular area (diam. 31m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4-5m; H 0.4-0.7m) from SW-WSW-W and by a scarp from WNW-N-ESE. From ESE-S-SW the enclosing element has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not evident. The interior is divided into two unequal portions by a NW-SE field boundary.
