The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in an undulating landscape. Circular, slightly domed, grass-covered but poached area (int. diam. 37m NNE-SSW; 35.8m WNW-ESE) defined by the grass-covered foundations of a stone wall (Wth 1.75-1.85m; max. H 0.65m), best preserved NE-SE. There is a stone-lined entrance (Wth 2.2m) at ENE. A slight wall running from the centre towards the perimeter at NW may be a remnant of an overlying field system. The perimeter is overlain by an ENE-WSW field wall at N.
