The National Monuments Service's description
Visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 149-50), and situated towards the bottom of a S-facing slope overlooking a SW-NE stream, c. 70m distant. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 35.5m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1.3m at W to 2.9m at S; int. H 0.1m at W to 0.8m at E; ext. H 0.1m at N to 1m at S). There is no visible entrance, but a fragment of a NW-SE field bank overlies the interior towards the perimeter at SW.
