The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating pasture on level ground. Raised circular area (diam. 26m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.4m). No fosse visible. The bank is best preserved SE-NE. From SW-NW the external base of the bank is roughly revetted with rubble stone. The interior of the site is crossed by two straight drystone field walls; the first is orientated NNW-SSE and crosses the bank at NE and at SE and the second wall links at a right angle to the first at SE and extends across the interior to cross the bank at SW. Original entrance not recognisable.
