The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in an undulating landscape. Circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 31.5m ENE-WSW; 29.7m NNW-SSE) defined by an overgrown stone spread (at E: Wth 5.3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m), which is overlain by a drystone wall SE-W. There is no identifiable original entrance but clearance cairns are in the interior and a relict field wall runs E from the perimeter.
