The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying pasture, on flat terrain, immediately S of Ahavarraga Stream. Roughly circular area (32.5m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.3m). Scarp best preserved SE->SW, difficult to trace W->NNE where a field boundary skirts edge of site. Dip in scarp at ENE for c. 6m. Interior, under pasture, slopes down gently to ENE.
