The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in pasture. Monument described in 1971 as a small oval-shaped area (approx. dims. 42m N-S; 39m E-W) defined by a low scarp. There is no visible trace of an outer fosse. The perimeter is formed by a relatively modern rubble wall from NW-N-NNE. There is no entrance feature visible. The interior is not readily visible as it is obscured by dense overgrowth.
