The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a W-facing slope, immediately W of a stream. A circular area (31.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.52m) E-S and by a scarp (H 0.9m) S-E. Possible stone facing is evident on the internal face of the bank along the SE arc. There is a possible entrance (Wth c. 2m) at SE. The interior, which slopes down to the S, is raised slightly above the external ground level. Mature coniferous trees grow in the interior. Stones have been dumped on the scarp at SW and also in the N and NW quadrants of the interior. There is a possible hut site (KE058-077001-) at the centre.
