At the E edge of a slight plateau. Subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 25m N-S; 21.3m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2-3m; H 0.4-0.6m) SE-W-NW backing on to a natural slope down at E (H 2.5m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The perimeter is incorporated into field walls at S and W and truncated by an E-W field wall at N. The childrens' burial ground (RO050-018001-), a low rectangular, stone-covered mound (dims 10.7m N-S; 5.5m; H 0.2-0.4m) is at the centre.
