The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised roughly rectangular area (dims. 21m NNW-SSE; 14m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth 0.7m; int. H 0.6m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The remains of the wall encloses the site NW-S and are made up of un-coursed, un-mortared limestone rubble. From S-NW a NW-SE orientated drystone field wall has been built along the line of the enclosure wall. A small quarry, now disused, lies immediately outside the enclosure at SW. A break (Wth 2m) in the wall at E marks the position of the original entrance. The external ground level is higher than the interior SE-W while elsewhere the interior is raised above external ground level.
