The National Monuments Service's description
In a low-lying landscape at the bottom of a N-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims. 75m E-W; 65m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 4.5-8m; H 0.1-0.2m) SE-NW and a scarp (H 0.1-0.4m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance, but there is a rectangular enclosure (RO035-110002-) at the centre. This is a grass-covered area (int. dims. 22m E-W; 17.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.4-2.7m; H 0.2-0.6m), with internal and external facing stones on the W and N sides, and an entrance (Wth 2.2m) at the E end of the S side. There is a grass-covered rectangular cairn (RO035-110003-) (dims. 5.5m N-S; 4m E-W; H 0.3m) at its centre, which may be a clearance cairn or the remains of a house.
