The National Monuments Service's description
On a terrace towards the bottom of a N-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (int. dims 32.5m E-W; 27.3m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 3.5-4m generally to 5.4m at E; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.5-0.8m) with intermittently visible facing stones. There is a gap (Wth 4m), probably damage, at SW, and a grass-covered cairn (dims 7.4m E-W; 5.2m N-S; H 0.2m) at the centre. The site is overlain by the remains of a N-S field wall (original Wth 1m) from the field system (RO006-086008-) W of the centre.
