The National Monuments Service's description
On a knoll on an E-facing slope. Subcircular, domed and overgrown platform (dims 31.3m E-W; 24.6m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.9m at N to 1.8m at W), with a slight fosse (Wth of base 2.5m; D 0.1-0.2m) W-NE. There is no visible entrance, and the monument is bisected by an E-W field wall. Archaeological testing (04E1186) S of the monument along the roadside produced no related material (Henry 2007a).
