The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise in pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 39m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The W half had been destroyed due to the construction of a modern roadway and the original entrance was not recognisable. The rest of it has since been levelled but variations in the grass cover clearly indicate its outline.
