The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on top of a hill with good views in all directions.
Circular platform (15.5m N–S; 13.5m E–W) defined by a sod-covered stone bank (Wth 0.6m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.4m), little more than a narrow, low jumble of stones. There are eroded areas/breaks (Wth 0.5-1m) in the wall at NW, NNE and SE, but no clearly defined entrance. The function of this feature is unclear; it may be the remnants of a house.
