The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a bedrock rise on the W side of a natural terrace, on the W-facing slopes of Red Hill. Ephemeral remains of an oval or subrectangular area (15m N–S; c. 11.4m E–W) defined N–SW by a low bank (Wth. 0.8m; H 0.1-0.35m), and on the W side by a N–S field boundary, part of a relict field system (SL018-050001-). The W side of the enclosure coincides with the W edge of the terrace where there is a sharp fall of ground. A modern N-S field wall cuts across the interior of the enclosure.
