The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the crest of a S-facing slope. This is visible as an enclosure on aerial images (OSI 2005; Google Earth 10/05/2009; Bing 2013) where it appears as a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 48m E-W; 44m E-W) defined by an earthen bank, with traces of two outer banks NNW-NE (max. ext. diam. c. 80m). It is not clearly discernible at ground level.
