The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating, poorly-drained pasture with good views in all directions. The monument has been levelled but is still evident as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by a scarped edge (Wth. 6.1 H 0.5m) NE to SW. On the downslope c. 4.5m outside this is another scarp (Wth 4.3m; H 0.3m) N to SW. The interior slopes down to E and a pile of gravel has been dumped in its centre.
