The National Monuments Service's description
Situated atop a low hill in rolling pasture and meadow. The monument is indicated on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a sub-oval platform (diam. c. 30m NE-SW by 20m NW-SE) defined by a scarped edge from NNE to SSW. The monument is heavily masked by scrub vegetation of bramble and thorn and was not accessible at the time of inspection in 2004.
