The National Monuments Service's description
On a W-facing slope in pasture. A raised oval area (c. 42m E-W; c. 28m N-S) defined by a much-degraded scarp (H 0.8-1.8m) with fragmentary remains of modern drystone-facing. There is no trace of a fosse. From NE-S-W the scarp has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. There is a possible house site (LF023-021002-) in the centre of the interior.
