The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight W-facing slope in undulating pasture. Slightly raised, roughly rectangular area (dims. 27m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.9m; int. H 0.4m). At the external foot of the bank from SW-NE are a berm (Wth 9m) and a substantial outer bank (Wth 7.4m; ext. H 1.35m). The bank turns at a right angle at SW and NE and links to the internal bank. The original entrance is not recognisable. The ground level of the interior has been raised and levelled to compensate for the natural slope of the external ground level. A house site (SL013-053002-) is located a short distance to E of centre of the interior.
