The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a very slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a low bank of earth (Wth 5.9m; int. H 0.3m). A WSW-ENE orientated field boundary bank lies along the line of the bank SE-SW. The exterior side of the bank, to the S of the field boundary, has been partially quarried away SE-SW. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at N marks the position of the original entrance.
