The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on very slight rise in gently undulating low-lying pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 14m) enclosed by a low broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.15m; int. H 0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From SSW-E the bank is absent and the site is defined by a very slight scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable. A hut site (SL008-133001-) is located in the NE quadrant of the interior.
