The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture on top of a low hillock in undulating countryside with good views in all directions. A poorly preserved raised irregular-shaped platform (dims. 34m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.2m-0.6m). A modern milking shed (Wth 18m x L 10m) and a sileage pit occupies nearly half of the earthwork in the NW quadrant. There is a quarry along the E face.
