The National Monuments Service's description
On a SSW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 36.4m) enclosed by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.4m; H 0.8m max.) with a partially infilled, wide, shallow external fosse (Wth 2.9m; D 0.3m). A break (Wth 3.3m) in the bank at ENE with an accompanying causeway marks the original entrance. There are fragmentary remains of drystone-walling on either side of the entranceway.
