The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope in undulating upland pasture overlooking a steeply banked N-S flowing stream that abuts the E side of the site. Raised circular area (diam. 28m) defined by an earth and stone scarped edge (ext. H 1.5m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From ENE-SE the scarped edge is absent and the edge of the site is defined by a steep E-facing natural slope that forms the W bank of the stream. From W-NNW a modern drystone field wall lies along the top of the scarped edge. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is in two levels with the E one-fifth being 0.7m lower than the remainder.
