The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying marshy pasture, in natural hollow. Circular area (diam. 34m) enclosed by two concentric earthen banks set relatively far apart (distance from bank to bank: 17m). Inner bank (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.3m), heavily masked by overgrowth, is best preserved SW->NNW. Outer bank (int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.8m) best preserved SSW->NNE, but lowers NNW->NNE and is levelled ENE->ESE. Outer bank has flat top (Wth 1.3m) on which boulders have been dumped at W and N; gaps in bank at SSE (Wth 11.5m) and SSW (Wth 5.2m). Area between banks is flat and waterlogged though marginally drier along SW arc. Level interior is covered with briars except for small clearing near centre.
