The National Monuments Service's description
This site is located at the base of a long E facing slope in a level marshy area. Views are restricted to the W, due to slope and clear to the NE and SE. This is a large sub-circular enclosure (Dims. c. 70m E-W by c. 60m N-S) which is defined by a low, broad bank (Wth 9m, H 1.1m). There is a possible circular feature to the W of the interior.
