The National Monuments Service's description
On a steep N-facing slope in pasture. Not indicated on the 1837 or 1883 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3m; H 0.4m). An external field drain from W-N-SE probably incorporates a pre-existing fosse. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded that the original entrance may have been at either NE or SE.
