The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on the E down-slope of a low hill which slopes more sharply to the E of the possible site location. The monument is indicated on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) planted with trees. Several collections of stones (dim. 0.3 x 0.5 x 0.2m) in small hummocks (diam. 2-3m) are evident in a roughly rectangular area (c. 17m N-S).
