The National Monuments Service's description
Located along the E summit of Three Rock Mountain in a forestry plantation. A ringfort, roughly circular in plan (int. diam. 18m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.5m; H 1m). Within the enclosure are traces of a subcircular hut site (int. diam.6.5m; bank Wth 0.6m; H 0.55m). The site is too disturbed to identify any original entrance feature. This is the most northern of a group of three enclosures (DU025-028001-, DU025-028003-) marked on the 1843 OS 6-inch map.
