The National Monuments Service's description
In level low-lying terrain, with much limestone outcropping. Site, covered by dense overgrown and largely inaccessible, is depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). Enclosing element appears to be dry-stone limestone wall (H c. 0.6m; Wth c. 2m). Boulders strewn around exterior of site probably derived from enclosing wall.
