The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf overlooking the SW-NE KIllukin stream on the S bank, just above the waterfalls and on the opposite bank from the field system (RO011-162002-) and mill (RO011-162001-). Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 71m N-S; 63.5m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m at S to 5.6-6.5m generally; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext. H 0.1m at S to 0.8m at N). There is no visible fosse, and the entrance (Wth 3m) is at NE. A NE-SW farm track overlies the site at SE, breaching the perimeter at ESE and S, and there are some quarries and outcropping rock in the interior. Rath (RO011-073----) is c. 190m to the SE.
