The National Monuments Service's description
On a SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 48.2m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.9m; H 1.2m) from SW-WSW-W and by a steep scarp (H 0.2-3.3m) from W-N-NE. From NE-E-SW the bank has been levelled but its outline is still identifiable. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable.
