The National Monuments Service's description
At the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 31m NE-SW) defined by a earthen bank (Wth 4.6m at SW to 5.1m at NE; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.2-0.4m) NE-E-SW which cannot be traced elsewhere. A NE-SW field bank and drain truncate what was probably the perimeter of the site at NW.
