The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the OS 25-inch map as the site of a fort, and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. This is a rectangular overgrown area (dims 30m E-W; 27m N-S) defined by a drystone wall at N, and collapsed walls on the other sides. There is local information that it was used as a children's burial ground, but no grave-markers are visible. There are field stones in the interior.
