The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope. Subcircular overgrown area (dims 34.6m NW-SE; c. 28.6m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 1.9-3.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.85-1m) with external, and some internal, facing-stones (at NE: Wth of bank 1.4m). There is no visible fosse, but an entrance (Wth 2.2m) at ESE is probably original.
