The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level wet pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by a very slight broad scarp of earth (Wth 2-2.5m; ext. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. A large roughly rectangular boulder (dims. Wth 2m; T 1.5m; H 1.2m) immediately within the scarped edge at NE looks natural. The original entrance is not recognisable.
