The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in an undulating landscape. Circular overgrown area (diam. 25m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth c. 3m), largely obscured with spoil but with traces of facing-stones (original Wth of wall 1.55m) at S. There is no evidence of an original entrance, and a NW-SE field wall crosses the interior.
