The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, straddling a low rise on the S edge of a NNW-SSE ridge. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 35m) enclosed by a sod-covered stone bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.9m at E, 1.8m at SW). The stone bank has a broad external slump, enhanced on the S half by the natural fall of ground. A later stone field boundary overlies the remnants of the stone bank at SW–NE. In the centre of the interior, there is a roughly circular sod-covered raised feature (diam. 5m; H 0.35-0.4m) with a central hollow (diam. 1.8m). There is a souterrain (SL018-036002-) in the SW quadrant.
