The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge in a mountainous region. A raised circular area (diam. 25m N-S) defined by a scarp (H at N 1.5-2m; H at S 0.2m) with traces of an external fosse (Wth 2.5m; ext. D 0.5m) visible from W to SW only. The scarp varies in height from N, where it is at its highest, to S where it is barely raised above the external ground surface. There is a possible ramped entrance at the SSE (Wth 9m).
