The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low-lying, fairly level landscape. There are traces of a circular enclosure visible as a slightly raised and domed (max. H c. 1m) grass-covered area (diam. c. 50m N-S; c. 48m E-W) defined by a band of lighter vegetation (Wth c. 2-3m) on the perimeter. It is not apparent on any series of aerial images.
