The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on relatively low lying level wet grassland, with extensive views all around. A circular shaped area (approx. diam. 20m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by a very low, poorly preserved earthen bank and a narrow shallow external fosse. The bank is reduced to a scarp in places. The interior is level, and a straight slight depression is visible extending ENE-WSW in the SE quadrant.
See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
