The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope. Described in 1978 as an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 24m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank with faint traces of an outer fosse (SMR file). The monument was overlain by an E-W field wall, and a N-S field wall overlay the perimeter at W with a house site (RO035-060002-) against the inside of the bank at SW. It is not now visible at ground level in pasture.
