The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Levelled monument described in 1971 and 1978 as a roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 25m NW-SE) defined by the remains of a levelled bank. The interior has a gentle E-facing slope. Large stones which have been recently deposited against the nearby field fence may have come from the site.
