The National Monuments Service's description
In level, low-lying pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded that, although largely levelled, the outline of a bank of earth and stone with an external fosse, enclosing a roughly circular area (diam. c. 38m), could still be traced. The original entrance was not recognisable. Further levelling has since occurred and the monument is not visible at ground level.
