The National Monuments Service's description
At the base of the N-facing slope of a hillock. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that this slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 32m) was defined by a low bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. It is defined by a scarp (H 0.3-0.55m). The original entrance is not recognisable.
