The National Monuments Service's description
Just off the brow of a hill, near the top of a short, steep, NNE-facing slope, in pasture. A fairly poorly preserved, rectangular area (int. dims. L 37m E-W; Wth 29m N-S) is defined by a low, stony, earthen bank (int. H 0.1-0.6m; Wth 0.6m at E-4m at S; ext. H 0.8m), and by the remains of a shallow, outer fosse along S and W (Wth 2m; D 0.4m). The interior may contain a partially robbed-out souterrain (KD019-036002-). Visible on a 2005 aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto).
