The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle W-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 34m) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.5m). Enclosure crossed by field boundary on N-S axis, acting as chord across E edge of interior, c. 6.5m W of enclosing bank. Bank is denuded by cattle accessing interior at W, and is masked by dense overgrowth beyond field boundary to E. Level interior, under pasture, contains roughly rectangular depression (4.2m N-S; 5m E-W; D 0.4m) SE of centre. Small clearance cairn against external bank face at WSW.
