The National Monuments Service's description
At the S edge of a broad plateau. The rectangular enclosure (RO028-168001-) was integrated with a field system (RO028-168002-) covering an area of c. 10 ha, and a pitfield of c. 100 pits aligned WNW-ESE, parallel to the field banks, both of which can no longer be seen at ground level in reclaimed pasture.
