The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Depicted as a circuclar enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The site has been levelled. Remains comprise an oval area (dims. 25m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by a slight rise. At NW are a number of contiguously-set boulders which may be the remnants of a kerb. From SW-W-NW the rise is overlain by a modern N-S field boundary. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable.
