The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a low rise. Slighlty raised subcircular area (diam. 17.4m NE–SW) defined by degraded remnants of an earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.4m). The S half of the interior appears to be slightly higher. The entrance may have been at SSE where there is a gap (Wth 2m), now partly blocked with boulders. Field clearance stones and boulders are spread over the S and SE of the interior.
