The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level elevated pasture. The site was probably circular originally, one half of which has been removed. Surface remains now comprise a slightly raised D-shaped area (dims. 13.5m N-S; 9m E-W) enclosed by a broad bank of earth (Wth 6.5m-7.4m; int. H 0.3m). No fosse is visible at ground level. From N-E-S the bank is absent and the site is defined by a slight linear N-S scarp (ext. H 0.15m).
