The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the N half of a modern walled rectangular field, located in gently undulating coastal grassland. Ground falls very gently for 300m to N ending at a rocky shoreline. The Easkey River lies to E, opening into the sea c. 600m to NE of the enclosure. Subrectangular area (c. 24m NE–SW; c. 15-20m NW–SE) defined by the barely discernible undulations of a levelled bank. The outline of the bank can still be traced in part at S, W and N but is almost entirely obliterated on the E side. The interior is not raised above exterior ground level. Remnants of a levelled field boundary, part of a field system (SL011-143003-), extend to S from the S side of the enclosure. Remnants of another field boundary extend for c. 40m to NW, linking this enclosure to another enclosure (SL011-143001-).
