The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 40.3m N-S; 40m E-W) defined by a rounded but overgrown fosse (at W: Wth of top 8.3m; Wth of base 4.7m; int. D 1.4m; ext. D 1m) WSW-N, and by a scarp (H 0.85m at S to 1.65m) elsewhere. The perimeter of the platform has been truncated at NE by a NW-SE field wall, and the perimeter has been cut back SSE-SW to create a passage between it and a NW-SE field bank. Souterrain (RO035-041002-) is inside the perimeter at N and there is a small clearance cairn (RO035-041003-) (dims 4.6m E-W; 3m N-S; H 0.4m) near the centre. Church (RO035-042001-) is c. 120m to the SE.
