The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in low-lying marshy pasture. A sub-circular area (diam. 40m N-S by 37.1m E-W) enclosed by a single bank of dry-stone construction. The bank is denuded from N to SW (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.35m; Wth. 1.8m) whilst the remainder (int. H 0.9m; ext. H1.4m; Wth. 3.4m) has been incorporated into the surrounding field boundary system, and is masked in places by fallen trees and scrub overgrowth. The stone bank is constructed of un-bonded, un-hewn limestone with a rubble core, and has rough coursing on the faces. There is evidence of collapse to S and NNW. A gap in the SSW might be the original entrance (Wth. 1.2m). There are two more gaps; one in the N (Wth. 2m) and one in the NNW (Wth. 2m) both in the section of denuded bank.
