The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SW edge of a low ridge adjacent to the SW end of Quigabar hamlet. Raised subcircular area (26.8m NW-SE: 22.8m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank (Wth. 4.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.6m at SW) with an external fosse (Wth. 5.2m). At the outer lip of the fosse at SW-NW is a second bank (Wth. c. 5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.4m - 1.2m). The interior slopes from centre to E and SE. A poorly defined gap (Wth. 2-3m) at SSE may be the original entrance. Thre is a local tradition of a souterrain (SL010-021002-) within internal area.
