The National Monuments Service's description
Close to the base of a W-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 22m) enclosed by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.5m; H 0.3m). There is no trace of a fosse. From ESE-S-WSW the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. At NE is a paved entranceway (Wth 1m) of uncertain date.
