The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 25m E-W; c. 20m N-S) cut by field walls at W and S, and situated on an undulating landscape. An arc of the perimeter consisting of a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 5m; H 0.6m) with intermittently visible facing-stones (original Wth of wall 1.5m), but largely obscured by field stones, survives N-E. There is an entrance (Wth 1.5m), possibly modern, at ENE.
