The National Monuments Service's description
On the N-facing slope of a hillock, on land sloping gently towards the edge of a steeper slope, in pasture. There are fair to good views to the N and E, but the view is impeded to the S and W by rising ground. A circular enclosure visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 16 December 2016), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. A low circular flat-topped mound (diam. 6.6m; H 0.08-0.16m) enclosed by a shallow fosse (Wth 1.5m; D 0.1m).
