The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise, on a gentle SW-facing slope, in pasture. Monument described in 1977 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 41m) enclosed by a bank, best defined from S-SW-W and has been incorporated into a field boundary from NW-N-NNE. The monument is truncated by a road across the E sector and has been partially quarried away from NE-SSE. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and featureless.
