The National Monuments Service's description
At the crest of a W-facing slope. Described in 1998 as a subcircular area (dims 30-38m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4m; H 0.3-0.6m) (SMR file) with no evidence of a fosse or entrance. It is now visible as an uneven grassy, slightly sunken area defined by a low scarp (H 0.2-0.5m) SE-W and a slight scarp down to the interior elsewhere.
