The National Monuments Service's description
In poorly drained, low-lying pasture. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 16.2m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 3m; H 0.1-0.3m) with a wide, shallow external fosse (Wth 5m; max. D 0.3m). The fosse is almost completely infilled but its outline may still be traced. There are breaks in the bank at SSE and W, neither of which appears to be original. The monument is densely overgrown with scrub.
