The National Monuments Service's description
A short distance from the top of a low hill within a golf course. A raised circular area (diam. 41.7m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 8.4m; H 0.6-1.5m) with a wide, deep, external fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 1.6m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) noted a low outer bank on the W side of the monument and an entrance gap at ENE. It was unclear whether the outer bank was an original or more recent feature. It has since been levelled, and at ENE the inner bank and fosse have also been levelled where a teeing-off point has been constructed.
