The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight SE facing slope in pasture. The site has largely been levelled. Remains comprise roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable. The majority of the bank has been levelled and what remains is preserved beneath a drystone field wall NE-SE. The surviving bank is revetted with large limestone boulders on the interior. The line of the levelled bank is visible as a slight broad inward facing scarp (int. H 0.3m) SW-NW and the enclosing element is not visible SE-SW.
