The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on top of a hillock with panoramic views, except where obscured by a similar hillock to the NW. Levelled remains of an oval area (dims. 29m NE-SW; 24m NW-SE) defined by a possible man-made scarp (Wth 12m; H 2.3m) from SE-SW. The scarp (Wth 11.5m; H 2.2m) is more gradual from WSW-NW and at the NE. The interior has a SE-facing slope in the SE sector. There is a natural break of slope around the top of the hillock which falls from the base of possible the scarp. The monument is difficult to define as it has been levelled out across the crest of the hill.
