The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a W-facing slope. A roughly oval area (32m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.45m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) which is low and denuded. The bank is covered with stones which may be from field clearance. The interior, which is covered in conifers, slopes from the E down to a break of slope in the W sector. There is a large rock outcrop in the NE quadrant. Loose stones are scattered in the interior, especially in the NE quadrant. A possible souterrain (KE058-082001-) is in the N sector and a possible hut site (KE058-082002-) is in the centre. There is a possible entrance through the bank at SE.
