The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a low rise, with a fall of ground to W and SW. There is a river 150m to E. The Ox Mountains define the horizon at E−S, and Nephin Mountain is visible to WSW.
Circular area (11.8m N−S; c. 10m E−W) defined SSE−NNW by a sod-covered stone bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.4-0.55m; ext. H 1.4m at W), with a steep external slope at W enhanced by the natural fall of ground. At N−E the stone bank has been greatly reduced and incorporated into a field fence which respects the curve of the enclosure, and at E−SE it is evident as a low grass-grown rise. The interior has a slightly sunken appearance. There is an accumulation of field clearance stones against the external slope of the stone bank at SW.
