The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in a prominent position on top of a hillock in upland pasture, with extensive views in all directions except upslope to NW. This site has been ploughed over but is still visible. It consists of a circular mound (diam 3.3m; H 0.08m) enclosed by a water-logged and silted fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.3m) and outer bank (Wth 2.8; ext. H 0.2m) (overall diam. 16.1m N-S: 16m E-W). The outer bank is most denuded in the NW quadrant.
