The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a rise, in an area of mixed rough pasture and bog.
Circular area (diam. 16m) defined by sod-covered stone bank/wall (W 2.7; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4m). The stone bank, which is incorporated into a field fence on the SE arc, is low and degraded. At NW it has a broader external slump, possibly resulting from an accumulation of field clearance stones. There are breaks at NNE (W 1.5m) and NE (W 4m). A break (W 3.2m) to E is now blocked by the field fence. In the interior to S is an oval-shaped, grassed-over depression (4m NE-SW; 3m NW-SE; D 0.5m). Conifers have been planted along the line of the field fence.
