The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on low ridge with good views. There is a farmyard immediately to S.
Slightly raised, roughly circular area (diam. 26m NW-SE) defined by a low stony bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5m). The stone bank retains a low internal rim of stones S−NW, but for much of its circuit shows clear evidence of modification as a result of being incorporated into a later field walls. It is topped with a later field wall at NNW−S, and at S−NW the external scarp (H 0.5m) is faced externally with large, contiguous boulders. The interior has a gentle slope down to E and SE. The perimeter and interior are largely covered by blackthorn and hawthorn.
