The National Monuments Service's description
On gentle S-facing slope, in low-lying area with limestone outcropping. Roughly circular area (48m N-S; 52m E-W) enclosed by partially collapsed and overgrown dry-stone wall (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.65m; Wth 2m). Most of enclosing element obscured by overgrowth of gorse and bushes, as is much of interior. There appear to be some internal structures, defined by low earthworks, but no pattern discernible because of overgrowth.
