The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by a narrow bank (Wth 3m; H 0.25m) of earth and stone. There is no fosse visible at ground level. The internal and external foot of the bank is revetted with limestone slabs (av. dims 0.5m x 0.5m; T 0.3m) laid on edge. The revetting is best preserved from SE-SSE and at NW. The original entrance is not recognisable. Quarry hole (L N-S 18m; Wth E-W 6m; D 0.5m) lies at the inner foot of the bank from NE-E-SE.
