The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in fertile pasture on a gentle N-facing slope overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Raised circular area (diam. 24.6m) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 5.8m - 7.5m; H 0.2m - 1.1m). No fosse. Stone lined entrance at SE (Wth. 1.1m). A poorly defined break in the bank at N (Wth. c.1m) may mark a second entrance. No remains of the souterrain (SL011-006002-) were identified.
