The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in pasture towards the top of a slight S-facing slope. Circular scrub-covered area (int. diam. c. 53.8m N-S; c. 51.6m E-W) defined by a complete earthen bank (Wth at base 6m; Wth at top 3m; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.8-1.1m) with an internal facing of boulders (dims. c. 0.7m x 0.3m; H 0.4m) visible ESE-SSE (C 14.5m). The bank is reduced to an external scarp SSE-WSW and an internal scarp NW-E. There is no visible fosse and the perimeter is overlaid by an overgrown, stone-faced field bank (Wth 1.3m; H 1m) SW-E. The entrance (Wth 4m), now narrowed to 2.1m, is at ESE. A stone row (WA013-038002-) is c. 70m to the E.
