The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a SW-facing slope of a small NW-SE river valley. Raised circular area (24.5m E-W; 22.5m N-S) enclosed by a substantial bank (Wth 4.4m at E, 7.5matW; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 1.6m at E, 2m atW) of earth and stone, which appears to have been faced with stone both internally and externally. A break (Wth. 2.8m) in the bank at SE marks the original entrance. Within the NE quadrant of the interior, two adjacent hollows which may indicate a collapsed souterrain (SL018-028002-).
