The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. Circular grass and rush-covered but poached area (diam. 25.3m E-W; 24.3m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.6m) at N and by a scarp (H 0.4m at W to 0.8m at E) elsewhere. There is a fosse (Wth of top 2-2.7m; D 0.3m) NNW-NE with slight traces (Wth 2-2.5m) elsewhere, but the monument is truncated by a NNE-SSW field bank at SE. There is no visible entrance.
