The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Roughly circular, raised level area (diam. 25m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.5m). Six large boulders set at irregular intervals form a kerb at E and S. At W and N the scarp has been incorporated into linear field boundaries. In the basal course of the N side of the wall at W are up to 18 closely-set large stones which are probably displaced kerb stones.
