The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised roughly D-shaped area (30m NNW-SSE; 18m WSW-ENE) enclosed by a bank (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.25m) of earth and stone. There is no trace of a fosse visible at ground level. The bank is visible from NNW-SE and elsewhere the site is defined by an earthen scarp. The external base of the bank is revetted with large conglomerate blocks from NNW-NE. This revetting is also visible at the base of the enclosing scarp S-NW. The original entrance is not recognisable. The remains of a souterrain (SL011-041001-) is located in the SSW portion of the interior.
