The National Monuments Service's description
Atop low rise, in low-lying pasture. Roughly circular area (27.3m N-S; 26.4m E-W) enclosed NW->SW by collapsed sod-covered dry-stone wall (H 1.2m; Wth 2m) and SW->NW by field boundary replacing, or possibly overlying, enclosing wall. Gap in bank (Wth 3.3m) to NE appears to have recently been widened. Interior surface uneven and covered by dense overgrowth of bracken etc. Soil and stones from removed field boundaries has been dumped against outside of enclosing element on E side and in SE quadrant of interior.
