The National Monuments Service's description
On a narrow terrace of a moderately steep E-facing slope on partially improved pasture, at the N end of a field system (CL006-036001-). Indicated on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A subrectangular enclosure (int. dims. 30m E–W; 29m N–S) defined by a single drystone wall along S, W and N and a thick double wall along E, which is covered in clearance stones but may overlie an older wall line. The site is abutted at S by a small subrectangular field of similar dimensions and defined by single drystone-built walls.
