The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on NE-facing upper slope of a N-S orientated ridge, in gently undulating rocky pasture. Slightly raised oval area (dims. c.28m N-S; c.32m E-W) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 6.3m; int. H 0.5m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. Modern E-W orientated drystone field walls (av. dims. H 0.6m; T 0.4m) have been built on top of the bank NW-NE and SE-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is densely overgrown with bushes and briars along the perimeter SW-SE.
