The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in undulating pasture. Raised subtriangular area (dims. 33.8m N-S; 27.6m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.25m - 1.7m). At S the upper edge of the scarp is edged with a rough kerb of stones inside of which is a low stony rise (Wth. 1.4m). This may be the last remnants of a bank or wall. From NNE-NE-ESE, where there is a modern N-S field field bounday at its foot, the scarp is lower and more poorly defined. From NNW-N-NNE the scarp has been incorporated into a modern ENE-WSW field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable. Within the SE quadrant is a concentration of largely sod-covered stones including a linear feature (L 5m NE-SW).
