The National Monuments Service's description
On a NE-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 22.7m E-W; 20.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext. H 0.8-1.1m) which is truncated by an E-W field wall at S. There is no visible fosse, and the original entrance cannot be identified. A relict field bank approaches the perimeter at N, and there is a cairn of field stones inside the perimeter at NE. Rath (RO028-039----) is c. 20m to the SW.
