The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in pasture at the crest of a SE-facing slope at the S end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. It is not visible at ground level in pasture and the location is now marked by a possible standing stone (RO026-068----).
