The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle NW-facing slope. Sub-circular area (24m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.75m). Interior, which slopes down to E, has recently been planted with coniferous trees. A heap of boulders (H 0.5m; 1.9m NE-SW; 1.7m NW-SE) has been dumped in NW quadrant and appears to be filling a hole c. 0.3m deep. Enclosure is contained within small square field (L c. 30m) bounded by dry-stone wall. A similar walled-in enclosure lies 700m to ESE (LI020-003---).
