The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope in pasture. A slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.2-3.4m; H 0.3-0.75m) with traces of external drystone-walling. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted the following features: an external fosse, a possible original entrance at NE, and within the interior, two house sites (LF019-077003-; LF019-077004-) and a souterrain (LF 019-077002-). The fosse has been infilled and none of the other features are visible at ground level.
