The National Monuments Service's description
On the shoulder of a SE-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. c. 43m NE-SW; 42.3m NW-SE) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 4-4.5m; int. H 0.1m at SE (downslope) to 0.9m at NW; ext. H 0.3m at NW to 1.2m at SE) with intermittently visible facing-stones (at S: Wth of wall 1.9m) and some bushes. There is an entrance (Wth 1.6m), perhaps modern, at N. The monument is bisected by a NE-SW field wall and the interior slopes away steeply SE of this.
