The National Monuments Service's description
A short distance to the NNW of the highest point of a prominent hill. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 26m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. The inner face of the bank had been faced with drystone masonry at NE and SW. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance may have been at NE. It has been levelled and is not visible at ground level.
