The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope. A raised circular area (diam. c. 37m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5m; H 0.6m) with a wide, deep, external fosse (Wth 2m; D 1-1.15m), which has been deepened and incorporated into the field-drainage system. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is divided into roughly equal portions by a modern NE-SW laneway.
