The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. c.15m) enclosed by a narrow irregular bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; int. H 0.25m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank has been removed from SW-NW and has been replaced by a N-S orientated drain. The bank is absent NW-N and the edge of the site is defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.4m). The original entrance is not recognisable.
