The National Monuments Service's description
On hillslope opposite the hillfort (KK020-018002-) and cairn (KK020-018001-) across the valley on Freestone Hill. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and 1900 revision as an irregular roughly oval enclosure (dims. c. 48m N-S; c. 62m E-W). It has subsequently been levelled and can be seen as the cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (ASIAP (17) 0, 1995). Another enclosure (KK020-089----) has also been identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph adjoining to the N.
