The National Monuments Service's description

In rough pasture, located in a strip of lowlying pastureland, 200m E of the coastline, with easily accessible beaches 200m to SE and 500m to N.
Slightly raised circular area (10.4m N–S; 8m E–W) defined by a low, degraded earth and stone bank (Wth c. 2.5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H c. 0.7m). Stones of various sizes protrude randomly from the bank. The inner face of the bank is poorly defined, barely rising above interior ground level, and the external face is slumped.
