The National Monuments Service's description
At the W end of a slight E-W ridge. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 38.5m E-W; 36.5m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1.7m at N to 4.2m at W; int. H 0.2m at S to 0.6m at N; ext. H 0.2m at S to 0.6m at W). A gap (Wth 4m) at S may be an enlarged original entrance. A N-S relict field wall, visible as a grass-covered stone spread (dims 15m N-S; 2m E-W; H 0.2m), overlies the N interior, and a modern drain skirts the perimeter at E.
