The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SE-facing slope in gently undulating rocky limestone pasture. Natural ground level slopes down gently immediately to the E of the site. Roughly circular area (dims. 17m N-S; 16m E-W) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 2.6m; H 0.2-0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank and is best preserved SE-NE being very degraded elsewhere. The bank is made up of blocks and roughly rectangular slabs of rubble limestone. Two of the slabs are in their original position on the external side of the bank; one at W set on its long edge and one at NW set on its short edge. The original entrance is not recognisable.
