The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the base of a gentle SW-facing slope in gently rolling pasture with good views in all directions apart from in the W where the land rises sharply. The monument is partially obscured by scrub vegetation. It is evident as a roughly circular area (27m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 0.3m; Wth 2.15m; ext. H 0.4m). There is a gap in the bank in the SW (Wth 3m).
