The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise of ground with good views to the S. Circular area (diam. 56m NE-SW) defined by the remains of a poorly preserved earthen bank mainly reduced to a scarp and slight traces of a fosse with possible remains of a low external bank. A post-1700 field boundary running NE-SW divides a small portion of the NW quadrant of the interior, this quadrant of the monument has been levelled. A large gap in the bank at E appears to be post-1700 in date. No original entrance feature has been identified.
