The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating pasture on level ground immediately to the SW of an enclosure (SL011-004001-). Remains consist of a circular area (diam. 14m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.3m). There is no visible trace of a fosse at ground level. From N-E the bank is absent and the enclosing element is an inward facing scarp (H 0.2m). The enclosing element is absent SE-S. The original entrance is not recognisable. There is evidence of extensive disturbance in the interior with low irregular heaps of subsoil in the SW quadrant of the interior and against the internal face of the bank.
