The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this raised circular area (diam. c. 32m) was enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The original entrance was at E. It is defined by a scarp (H 1-2m) at the base of which is a recently recut fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.6-0.8m). The outer bank has since been levelled.
