The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 29.5m) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1.7m); fragmentary remains of a low bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 3m) are evident intermittently. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Against the scarp at SE are the ruins of a 19th-century dwelling.
