The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope in poorly-drained pasture. The monument is largely obscured by scrub vegetation. It consists of a roughly circular area (20m NE-SW; 18m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 0.25m; Wth 1.1m; ext. H 0.7m). There is a dip in the bank at WSW (Wth 4.5m). The interior is uneven and slopes down to the SE. The interior and the enclosing bank have been poached by cattle.
