The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in poorly drained, rolling pasture with good views to N and W. Located in an area of natural hillocks the monument appears to be an embellished hillock. It is partially obscured by scrub vegetation and overgrown by some mature trees. It is evident as a roughly circular area (36m E-W) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 6.6m; H 0.6m). There is a gap (Wth 1m) in the scarp at W. The enclosing element is truncated by a field boundary from NW to NNE. The interior slopes down evenly from the centre.
