The National Monuments Service's description
In poorly drained, low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 27m) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1.3m) with very slight traces of a bank of earth and stone. At the external base of the scarp is a poorly defined fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.3m). A depression (Wth 1.2m) in the scarp at N may mark the original entrance.
