The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground in gently undulating pasture. Circular area (diam. 7m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.35m). The bank is made up of an earthen core revetted on either side by thick limestone flags laid on edge (av. slab dims. L 0.6m; Wth 0.4m; H 0.35m). The revetting survives best SW-NW. A break (Wth 3m) in the bank at NE marks the position of the original entrance. This entrance appears to have been widened in modern times.
