The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just off the crest of the N-facing slope of a NNW-SSE summit on a NE-SW drumlin ridge. It is represented as a circular enclosure planted with coniferous trees on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured feature planted with trees on the 1907 edition. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 28.5m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by a slight earthen bank or a scarp (H 1m) with trees planted on the perimeter. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
