The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight S-facing slope of a broad plateau. Subcircular domed and grass-covered platform (dims 22.5m NNE-SSW; 20m WNW-ESE) defined by a scarp (Wth 4.75-7.8m; H 1.45-1.7m) which has a berm towards its base probably caused by poaching. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, but some boulders at the edge of the scarp N-SE may be the remains of a wall.
