The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf of level ground on an E-facing slope. A raised circular area (diam. c. 28m) enclosed at SW by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 6-7m; H 0.8m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1.5-2.2m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a shallow external fosse from E-S-W, which has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable.
