The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level pasture. The site has been partially levelled. Remains comprise a circular slightly raised area (dims. 32m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a low broad bank of earth (Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The edge of the site is defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.2m) where the bank is absent SE-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable.
