The National Monuments Service's description
In a dip in a plateau, with higher ground to the E, S and W, within a multiperiod field system (CL009-021001-). Marked on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A suboval enclosure (int. dims. c. 22m WNW–ESE; c. 17m NNE–ESE) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 3–3.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.4–0.8m). A later drystone wall (H 1–1.4m) has been built on top of it; the latter has collapsed and has largely been removed at NE. A modern farm track skirts the W side of the monument. A cairn (CL009-021009-) lies c. 60m to the W and there is a ring-cairn (CL009-021008-) c. 115m to the WSW. (Grant 2010, 47)
