The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight NE-facing slope. Circular grass-covered are (int. diam. 2.8m WNW-ESE) defined by a broad earthen bank (Wth 5.2-5.4m; int. H c. 0.6m; ext. H 1.4-1.6m) with some scrub. An outer fosse was filled in within living memory, but there are slight traces of it at S (ext. diam. 13.5m WNW-ESE; 13.4m NNE-SSW).
