The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise in otherwise lowlying, level pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 27m) enclosed by a low bank (Wth. 4.3m; int. H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 1.65-1.8m) of earth and stone with an external fosse (Wth. 4m). At the outer lip of the fosse is a second bank (Wth. 6m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 0.8m). The interior slopes down gently from centre towards the entrance gap (Wth. 2.4m) at NE. A depression, in the NE quadrant, and a small cavity, infilled with stones, in the inner bank at SE, may be evidence of a souterrain (SL010-023002-).
