The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located at the SE end of a NW–SE rise, with a stream a few meters o SSW at the base of the rise.
Low central platform (diam. c. 2.5m; H 0.3m) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 0.90m at NE, 1.5m at SW) with traces of an outer bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) at W–N. The outer bank appears to have been dug away at E–SE. Due to the greater width of the fosse at the S–SW the central platform appears to be slightly off centre.
