The National Monuments Service's description
On level, whin-covered ground, which rises immediately to the E. Visible on an aerial photograph (DoD, 1999). A poorly defined, roughly square area (dims. L 11m; Wth 11m) is defined by a heavily poached earthen bank (Wth 1.8m; H 0.2m) on its W side and elsewhere by a poached counterscarp (H 0.2m) over the interior. May be the remains of a disused lunging ring. A second, somewhat similar site (KD013-085----) lies 10m to the SW.
