The National Monuments Service's description
On a very gentle S-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 26m) enclosed by a partially denuded low bank of earth and stone. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse, which has since been infilled. A disused laneway from SW-WSW-W may mirror its outline. The original entrance is not recognisable.
