The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, on a slight NE-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 27m) enclosed by a low bank of earth (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank is best preserved at SE and W-NW being very denuded elsewhere. The original entrance is not recognisable. The NW quadrant of the interior is slightly raised and defined by a slight irregular scarp (H 0.2m). At the S end of this raised area is a possible souterrain (SL015-069002-).
