The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure (diam. 25-30m) on the 1837 and 1913 OS 6-inch maps. This enclosure was levelled in the 1940s (local information). There is a slight rise in ground level at this location but no other trace of the enclosure is evident at ground level.
