From this elevated position, visitors can gaze out over rolling pastureland that stretches from the northeast to the west-southwest, whilst a rocky ridge rises to the south and southeast. To the northwest, the vista opens dramatically to reveal sand dunes and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. The site’s strategic placement at the northern end of the ridge, where the ground drops away sharply, suggests its builders chose this spot deliberately for its commanding position over the surrounding terrain.

The enclosure itself forms an almost perfect circle, measuring 19.5 metres across in both directions. Its defining feature is a low, grass-covered earthen bank that varies in width from 3.5 to 5 metres, rising between 30 and 60 centimetres above the surrounding ground. Archaeological evidence suggests this wasn’t simply an earthwork; remnants of stone kerbing on the northeastern and eastern sections, including some edge-set stones, indicate the original structure may have incorporated stone facing. These surviving elements hint that the enclosing bank or wall was originally about 2 metres wide, a substantial construction that would have required considerable effort to build.

Time and agricultural activity have left their mark on the monument. Later field boundaries have been built into and over parts of the original structure, particularly visible where the southwestern to northern section has been modified into a straight, vertical scarp about half a metre high. The northern and northeastern portions have been truncated or overlain by more recent field walls. Two breaks in the bank, at the western and southern points, might represent original entrances, though centuries of use make this impossible to confirm. The interior appears slightly sunken due to natural undulations in the ridge top, whilst several shallow extraction pits dotting the slopes below the enclosure show where bedrock was quarried, possibly for building materials used in the enclosure itself or for later construction projects.
