The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope. Circular area (27.5m N-S; 28.5m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.25m). Bank is best preserved along E side where fall in terrain accentuates external height, and lowest at S (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.35m). Interior, under pasture, has loose stone scattered along verge; W half is slightly higher (H c. 0.3m) than E half.
