The National Monuments Service's description

On the N-facing slope of a WNW-ESE ridge. Rectangular grass-covered area (dims 82m N-S; 78m E-W) defined by earthen banks (Wth 3.2m; H 0.4-0.9m), with slight internal and external silted drains (Wth of base 1-1.8; D 0.1m) at E. The bank is best preserved at the NW angle where it is overgrown (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) with internal (Wth of base 1.4m; D 0.4m) and external (Wth of base 1.2m; D 0.3m) drains. There is no recognisable entrance, and cairn (RO027-080002-), probably a clearance cairn, is inside the SW angle. It has been reclaimed since 2002 (Bing c. 2013).
