The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle W-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 27m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.5m) from S-W-NE. From NE-ENE, although levelled, the outline of the perimeter is still identifiable but from E-SE-S no visible surface traces survive. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded areas of outcropping rock within the interior at NW and E.
