Visible on an aerial photograph (GSI N372-3) as a small circular enclosure (est. diam. c. 20m). On a gentle SE-facing slope at the SE foot of the Hill of Allen (OD 676 feet) on wet but partially improved pasture where the surrounding field boundaries as shown on the latest ed. (1910) of the OS 6-inch map have been removed. No visible surface trace of the feature survives.
