The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. This monument has been largely removed and is very low in profile. Remains comprise a slightly raised, roughly oval, area (dims. 32m E-W; 20m N-S) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.2m; int. H 0.3m). There is no trace of a fosse visible at ground level. The original entrance to the site is not recognisable. Most of the enclosing bank consists of limestone rubble. From NE-SE the bank has been incorporated into a drystone field wall. At the base of this wall is a series of large limestone boulders that are also occasionally visible in the bank SW-NW. The interior of the site slopes gently facing SE.
