The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in upland area on W facing slope of rising ground with good extensive views to W and higher ground to E. Field boundary intersects earthwork at S running along an E-W axis. Present remains consist of a semi-circular sunken wet area (dims. 4.5m N-S; D 0.2m) enclosed by a low earthen bank (top Wth 1m; base Wth 2m; ext. H 0.4m) with faint traces of an outer fosse, no entrance feature visible. The enclosing bank and outer fosse are destroyed along the S side of the site by the field boundary which runs along an E-W axis. May be the remains of a much degraded possble ring-barrow or could be the remains of a possible square-shaped hut site (ext. dims. 6m E-W) that has been truncated by a field boundary.
