The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE/E-facing slope of a hill in mature pine forestry. Circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) with a slightly 'dished' interior. The perimeter appears broken along the N but otherwise consists of a jumble of granite stones. There are occasional large stones that would appear to be set. There are tree stumps in both the N and S quadrants.
