The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a very slight rise in gently undulating pasture, immediately to NE of modern house and yard. Raised circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by a drystone wall (T 1.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.4m) of limestone rubble. There is no fosse visible at ground level. The wall has been entirely rebuilt in modern times and encloses the site from NE-W. From W-N the wall is absent and the site is defined by a slight irregular bank (Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.1-0.3m; ext. H 1.6m) of earth and rubble limestone. From N-NE the wall is absent and the site is defined by an irregular scarp (ext. H 1.3m). The original entrance is not recognisable.
