The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.8-3.2m; H 0.2-0.3m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded the presence of an external fosse but no trace of it is visible. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at ENE may mark the original entrance.
