The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on ridge with good views NW−S. Rising ground to SW. There is a farmyard immediately to NW.
A slightly raised subcircular area (diam. c. 26m) defined at SSW−W by a slight scarp (H 0.20m), truncated at NW−N by a silage pit. The E arc is incorporated into a curving earth and stone field fence (H 0.8-1m), topped by thorn bushes, which may preserve an original bank. A straight fence, on a NE−SW axis, truncates the SE−S edge of the enclosure. The interior is level and moderately strewn with stone.
