The National Monuments Service's description
On a SW-facing slope in pasture; the Camlin River is c. 80m to the SW. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A circular area (diam. c. 25.5m) is defined by a low scarp from SE-NW; elsewhere it has been levelled. It is divided into roughly equal portions by a modern NW-SE field boundary.
