The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise on a N-S ridge. Circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by a partly levelled bank (Wth. 6.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.5m) of earth and stone. A break in bank (Wth. c. 3m) at E may represent the original entrance. The site is divided into two roughly equal portions by a modern N-S field boundary.
