The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a terrace overlooked c. 30m to the E side by a rocky escarpment (H 2-3m), and defined at W by a broadly sloping fall of ground, giving good views over a broad expanse of lowlying coastal pasture.
Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular ringfort-sized enclosure, and on the 1922 edition as a D-shaped enclosure (diam. 25-30m) bordered on the straight side to S by a field boundary. This enclosure was levelled during land reclamation. There is no visible trace at ground level.
