The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, atop limestone crag. Roughly circular area (33.9m N-S; 37m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.05) W->NNE and ENE->WSW, and defined by scarped edge (H 0.85m; Wth 4.1m) WSW->W and NNE->ENE. Dry-stone wall, forming field boundary, incorporates bank E->WSW. Level interior, under pasture, is littered with loose stone; its surface was skimmed by bulldozer in 1996 to clear scrub.
