The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on slight rise in general E-facing slope. Roughly circular area (33m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 1.8m; Wth 6.4m); scarp most pronounced on E side due to fall of terrain. Interior largely inaccessible due to cover of deciduous trees with dense undergrowth of briars and bushes.
