The National Monuments Service's description
At the crest of the S-facing slope of a broad E-W spur. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 34m E-W; 33m N-S) defined by a stone spread (Wth 6m generally to 9m at N; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.6m at N) with some scrub, but facing stones are only visible at S (original Wth 2.3m). There is no visible entrance, and an E-W field wall is built on the stone spread NNW-NNE. A berm (Wth 1.6m at N to 5m at S) separates the inner from an outer wall visible as a grass-covered or overgrown stone spread (Wth 0.8-3.5m; H 0.1-0.3m) which is interrupted at NE, SE, SW and NW. Souterrain (RO008C015002-), is at the centre, and standing stone (RO008C032----) is c. 15m to the SW.
