The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NNW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 24.8m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5m; H 0.45m max.) with a largely infilled external fosse (Wth 3.3m). A break (Wth 1.8m) in the bank at E may mark the original entrance. A possible house site (LF014-081002-) was located within the SW quadrant of the interior.
