The National Monuments Service's description
On the summit of an E-W ridge. D-shaped area (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 30m E-W) used as a garden and defined by a stone wall (Wth c. 0.7m; H c. 1m at S) and hedge which is cut by a N-S road at E. There were traces of a fosse N-E-S, and its flat top once may have had a mound (RO010-12002-) (Knox 1911, 95-6), of which there is now no visible evidence.
