The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in poorly-drained undulating pasture with good views in all directions. The monument is evident as a circular enclosure (diam. 38m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 1.1m; Wth 3.5m; ext. H 0.9m). The enclosure is crossed by an E-W field boundary close to its N end. There is an area of scrub in the E of the site. The interior is waterlogged and slightly below the level of the surrounding field.
