The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying, level pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a much-denuded, wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.2m; H 0.15-0.35m) with a wide, shallow intervening fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.8m) and an outer bank (Wth 1.8m; H 0.3-0.5m). The outer bank has been substantially modified and incorporated into a field boundary. From WNW–N–NE the monument is skirted by a laneway. A break (Wth 3.5m) in the bank at ENE may mark the original entrance.
