The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow intervening fosse and traces of an outer bank. The original entrance was not recognisable. The monument has been levelled but is visible as a cropmark on an OSI aerial photograph (SMR file).
