The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in well-drained gently undulating pasture. Indicated on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a sub-oval area (c. 40m NW-SE; 40m NE-SW) defined by a scarp from S to NE and enclosed entirely by a field boundary. The perimeter of the monument is now obscured by dense scrub vegetation but parts of an enclosing dry-stone wall-bank is evident (ext. H 0.6m; Wth. 2.4m; int. H 0.4m) at S and SE. The interior slopes gently down to the E.
