The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S facing slope in gently undulating pasture-land, with wet land to S side of the site. Bog 90m to E. A large sub-circular area (approx. diam. 56m N-S; 54m E-W) enclosed by a very poorly preserved earthen bank and a shallow fosse only visible from NE-E. A modern drain intersects the site at SE & S. The level interior has slight traces of cultivation ridges which run NE-SW.
