The National Monuments Service's description
On slightly uneven rocky ground in hazel and rough pasture near the NW edge of a plateau, with a cliff (H c. 5m) c. 15m to the NW. Commanding wide views out W-NE. This subrectangular enclosure (int. dims. 42m NNW-SSE; 32.4m ENE-WSW) is defined along N, E and S by a relatively modern drystone wall (Wth 0.7m; H 0.5-0.8m). Along the W, there is a more substantial wall (Wth 1.2m) and associated collapse (combined Wth 3m) and this wall is shared with an adjoining enclosure (CL010-096----) to the W.
