Situated on a high natural ravine. The site is a broad oval area (c.55m NW-SE; 28m NE-SW) demarcated by a scarped bank (Wth 7m; H 2.2m) on ground that falls away to the SSW. There is a castellated entrance through the bank in the ENE. A souterrain (DU017-021002-) lies in the NW end of the interior (Anon., 1896, 421-2).
