The National Monuments Service's description
On limestone outcrop on a gentle W-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 29.2m N-S; 27.7m E-W) defined by a scrub-covered stone spread, which is best preserved (Wth 4.4-6.6m; int. H 0.5-0.9m; ext. H 0.6-0.8m) SE-SW, and has traces of a wall facing (at W: original Wth 2.2-2.4m). There are entrances at WNW (Wth 2m), ENE (Wth 3m) and S (Wth 2.65m), but the S part of the interior has been quarried. The perimeter is slightly truncated by an E-W field wall at N.
