The National Monuments Service's description

On level pasture, immediately W of a tower house (KD013-016001-). A very large but poorly preserved, hexagonal area (dims. L c. 170m N-S; Wth c. 160m E-W) is defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 3m; int H 0.8m; ext H 2.2m) which is densely overgrown with briar and thorn along the N, and an outer fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 1.2m) which has been recut as a modern field drain. Along the E side, bordering the tower house, the enclosing elements are removed and overlain by a farm track. The level interior is featureless.
