The straight, northern side of the enclosure utilises a ridge of bedrock c2m in height. The rest of the enclosure is made of rough field stones, max. height c 0.9m and width c0.75m, with a total external width of c.9.8m east-west and c9.5m north-south. It is situated on a terrace of drier land overlooking the lake and some meters higher than it. The land around is predominately rough grazing, surrounded by steep slopes and cliffs.'
