The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: M222-3), and situated on a slight NE-facing slope overlooking a broad, shallow NNW-SSE valley. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 45m WNW-ESE; c. 45m NNE-SSW) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 3.2-4.6m; int. H 0.7-0.8m; ext. H 0.15-0.5m) with internal and external facing-stones intermittently visible (at NNW: Wth of wall 1.4m). The entrance (Wth 4.7m) at E may be original. Two walls of a house site (RO045-104002-) (ext. dims 6.3m x 5.6m) survive inside the perimeter at NW. A NW-SE field wall truncates the monument towards the perimeter at SW.
