The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of undulating average pasture, located on low rise, in garden of Glencarha House, which is located 20m to S.
Raised, roughly circular area (15.7m N-S; 17m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.4m to N), which is enhanced by the natural slope of the rise. The scarp is well-defined at N–S, but is levelled to merge with the natural slope at SW–NW. The scarp is topped at NW−N by remnants of a bank (Wth c. 2m). Elsewhere stones protrude from sod around top edge of scarp. The interior has slight slope from N to S.
