The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland. Aerial reconnaissance in November 1987 (ASGAP 375:60) revealed an irregularly shaped field (c. 300m E-W; c. 70m N-S), which on inspection proved to be defined by a collapsed bank of earth and stone that was barely visible in places. Several modern field boundaries cut across the field and a number of natural hollows are
visible in the interior. A house (GA105-219----) lies within the interior at SE.
