The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately SE of a field boundary on a NW facing slope in gently undulating pasture with good views to N, E and SE. Indicated on the 1923 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (c. 35m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) and named 'Lismullane'. The monument has been levelled but is still evident as a sub-oval area (28.4m NW-SE) defined from NW to S by a scarped edge (Wth 2.2m; H 0.4m). The interior surface is even and slopes gently down to NW.
