The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf of a N-facing slope. Described as a subcircular area (dims 36m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by an earthen bank with slight traces of a fosse and an entrance (Wth 2m) at N. The entrance to a souterrain (RO027-024002-) was in the bank at N (Gannon 1972). It is not now visible at ground level in pasture, but remains unplanted in a coniferous forest.
