The National Monuments Service's description
In average pasture, situated on the NW slope of a steep hill. Raised circular area (diam. 30.2m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone, and enclosed by a broad fosse (max. Wth 6m), now largely infilled. There are opposing entrances at SE (Wth 2.3m) and NW (Wth 2.4m) with accompanying causeways across the fosse. There is a possible souterrain (MA014-008001-) in the fosse at ENE marked by a concentration of stones.
