The National Monuments Service's description
Visible as a circular feature on aerial photograph (CUCAP: K17 W12), and situated on an undulating landscape with limestone outcrop. This is an oval scrub-covered area (dims c. 27.5m NNW-SSE; 23m ENE-WSW) defined by a stone spread (at S: Wth 5.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.9m) with facing-stones evident only at NW (original Wth 1.9m). The perimeter is overlain by a field wall N-SE and there is no identifiable original entrance.
