The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying marshy land, c. 250m to the W of Raruddy Castle (105-178----). This rectangular moated site (40m N-S; 34m E-W), in fair condition, is defined by a low inner earthen bank (base Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.26m; ext. H 0.28m) an intervening fosse (Wth 3.7m) and an external bank (base Wth 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.3m); the latter is only apparent along the E side. Its NW corner is clipped by a N-S running roadway. The interior is raised above the surrounding land and in the NW sector there is a rectangular stone structure (GA105-182001-).
