The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying area of scrub, with a lot of limestone outcropping. Roughly circular area (25m N-S; 31m E-W) enclosed by collapsed stone wall (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.95m) forming a wide flat-topped bank (max. Wth. c. 7.5m). Entrance to NE (Wth. 2.4m) possibly original; widened in recent times. Interior recently cleared of scrub overgrowth.; surface very uneven due to dumps of loose stones; interior may be raised slightly above level of surrounding terrain. Low stony bank (H c. 0.5m; Wth. 6m) extends from enclosing bank at SSE for c. 30m; stone-built field boundaries abut enclosure to NE and SE.
