The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NW-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 36m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5-7m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.2-0.8m) which is most eroded at E but incorporated into a field bank and hedge (Wth 5.3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.9m) SSW-NW. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, although an entrance has been recorded at NE (Gannon 1972).
