The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope in the upper Tay river valley with the NW-SE stream c. 200m to the SW. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 50m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 6-7m; int. H 1.1-1.4m; ext. H 0.7-1.7m) NE-S, which is reduced to an external scarp (H 1.1m) S-NW and incorporated into a field bank NW-NE. An outer berm (Wth 12m) defined by a curved field bank NE-SE, a scarp (H 0.5m) SE-SW and an old stream bed SW-W may indicate the line of an outer bank. The entrance (Wth 3.8m) through the inner bank is at S.
