The National Monuments Service's description
Situated atop a N-S ridge. Slightly raised oval area (dims. 28m E-W; 26m N-S) enclosed by a low stone wall (Wth. 3.7m; int. H 0.6m) with both internal and external facing stones visible. No fosse. Blocked-up gap at ESE probably marks the original entrance. Adjacent to the wall at SW are traces of a souterrain (see SL019-128002-).
