The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in undulating pasture. Raised oval-shaped area (c.25m NW-SE; c.18.5m NE-SW) defined by a broad scarp (Wth. c.3m; H 1.2m - 1.6m). The scarp and its upper edge are occupied by a spread of boulders and smaller stones. At the foot of the scarp at S is a kerb of boulders two courses high (H 0.6m). No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable. The monument is divided into approx. equal portions by a WNW-ESE field wall. At the outer foot of the scarp at the portion SSW of this is a plantation of coniferous trees. Within the NW quadrant is a hollow or pit (dims. 4m x 6m; D 0.6m).
