The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SSW-facing slope, in wet pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. c.22m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.45m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 0.4m). From SSW-WSW the bank and fosse are absent and the circuit is defined by a scarp (ext. H 1.1m). The original entrance is not recognisable.
