On a SW-facing slope. Circular grass-covered but poached area (int. diam. 27m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by a rebuilt and overgrown drystone wall (Wth 0.8-3.5m; int. H 0.5-1.25m; ext. H 0.6-2.1m), but the original wall (Wth 2.5m) with facing stones can be seen outside the enclosure at NW. Earthwork (RO003-049----) is c. 35m to the W, and rath (RO003-051----) is c. 180m to the SE.
