The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of the SW-facing slope of the Hill of Ward. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It is situated between woodland to the NW and SE and the perimeter is absent between SE and SSW and very slight at some other points.
