The National Monuments Service's description
On a low knoll which may originally have been a low dry hillock on wet land, on the N-facing slope in undulating poorly drained grassland with good views in all directions. Poorly preserved ringfort consisting of a circular area (int. diam. 35m N-S; 33m E-W ) enclosed by an earthen bank which has been mainly reduced to a scarp (H 0.4-0.9m) with possible entrance gap (Wth 5m) at N. In the centre of the interior there is a low limestone boulder (1m l x 0.4m x 0.4m) protruding above the surface of the ringfort. Interior of ringfort rises in the centre following the natural slopes of the hillock.
