The National Monuments Service's description
On a low E-facing slope of rising pasture with good views in all directions. A poorly preserved overgrown enclosure consisting of a circular area (int. diam. 25m NE-SW) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) heavily overgrown with shrubs and bushes. A large gap (Wth 6m) in the bank in the W quadrant is possibly modern.
