The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 29.1m) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m at SE; 1.65m at NW). A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded traces of an external fosse, which are no longer visible. The original entrance is not recognisable. Most of the SE quadrant has been quarried away.
