The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 23m) defined by a broad scarp (H 1.5m). No bank. The outline of an infilled external fosse (Wth. 1.6m - 2m) is identifiable from N-E-S. From S-W-NNW the perimeter and portion of the interior have been destroyed by a laneway which encircles this part of the site. Causeway across the fosse at ESE (Wth. 2m) probably indicates original entrance.
