The National Monuments Service's description
In a slight hollow in undulating pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth c. 2.5m; H 0.3m) from W-NW-NNW and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 0.4m). At the base of the scarp at S are traces of a wide shallow fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.3m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded that the original entrance was at E. Boulders and smaller stones have been dumped on the monument.
