The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated on a gentle ENE-facing slope. Subcircular grass and scrub-covered platform (dims 24.7m N-S; 19.7m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.35-0.8m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, but a large quarry (diam. of base 4-5m; D 1-1.7m) with its upcast has been dug in the SE quadrant.
