The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on broad rise in gently undulating pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 18m) defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.35m; int. H 0.4m) with an external fosse (Wth 6.8m; D 0.3m). From SW-E the bank is absent and the defining element is a scarp (ext. H 0.7m) and the bank is incorporated into a field boundary from SE-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable.
