The National Monuments Service's description
On a very gentle S-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised subrectangular area (c. 43m NE-SW; c. 36m NW-SE) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with a wide, deep, external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The monument is not visible at ground level.
