The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 43.7m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.2m; H 0.65 max.) from NNE-E-SSW; elsewhere it has been destroyed due to quarrying. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. A series of large quarry holes are evident within the interior.
