The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, prominently located on the crown of a hill, with excellent views over the surrounding landscape of lowlying grassland, expanses of bog and low hills.
Slightly raised circular area (25m N−S; 24.5m E−W) defined by a bank (2.6m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.35m at SE). The bank on the W half now serves as a field boundary, and is densely engulfed in overgrowth. There are several breaks in the bank: at N (1m), at NNE (0.6m) at NE (0.6m) and at S (1m). Interior is level, covered by grass and thistles; perimeter is ringed with hawthorn and brambles, particularly dense on the W.
