The National Monuments Service's description
At the base of a NE-facing slope in upland terrain, in pasture, overlooking a valley to the E. Monument identified on Bing Maps http://binged.it/14YWrv5. A circular area (diam. 19.8m) defined by a broad, flattened bank (int. H 0.25-0.35m; ext. H 0.15-0.6m; Wth at top 2.5m; overall Wth 7.5m) which is built into the hillslope in the uphill SW sector. There is no well-defined entrance, though there is a dip in the flattened bank in the ESE quadrant. The monument is known to the landowner as a lios.
