The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the W side of a low ridge in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 34m) enclosed from ESE-S-W by an earthen bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.3m, at S) with traces of an external stone facing. For the remainder of the circuit the bank has been replaced by a modern curvilinear field boundary whose circuit is roughly similar. A narrow, stone-lined break (Wth 1.6m) in bank at S may mark the original entrance.
