The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Depicted on both editions of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. 20-25m). It appears to comprise a raised circular area enclosed by a bank, however, dense overgrowth rendered detailed inspection impossible.
