The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 43m) enclosed from NE-E-SSE by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 2.5m; H 0.2m) and defined from SSE-S-SW by a scarp (H 1m). Elsewhere a low rise indicates its outline. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a shallow L-shaped depression, of unknown significance, to the NE of the centre of the interior.
