The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.22m) defined by a substantial bank of rubble limestone (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.65m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. E-W orientated drystone field walls link to the external face of the bank at SW and at ESE. A break (Wth 1.6m) in the bank at N marks the position of the original entrance. The interior of the site is densely overgrown with thorn bushes and briars. An irregular hollow (dims. 15m NE-SW; 2-8m E-W; D 0.4m) immediately to the W of the site may be a quarry feature and the source for the material in the platform.
