The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise in reclaimed pasture. A report in 1995 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone, which had been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from SE-S-WNW. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance was not recognisable. It is no longer visible at ground level.
