The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Circular area (diam. 34m) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.7m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 5.1m; D 0.45m). The bank represents the collapsed remains of a wall as the original external basal facing of un-coursed limestone blocks survives at NE and ENE-ESE. The fosse is almost entirely in-filled SE-SW and a WNW-ESE orientated roadway lies along the outer edge of the fosse S-SSW. A break (Wth 3.5m) in the bank at NNE marks the position of the original entrance. A NNE-SSW orientated drystone wall crosses the W side of the interior intersecting with the bank and fosse at SW and at NW. A possible house site (SL008-052001-) is located slightly to NW of centre in the interior.
