The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low, rock-strewn hillock with good views in all directions. A large circular shaped area (diam. 44m N-S; 42m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank with shallow external fosse with entrance gap (Wth 2.4m) at SE. The interior rises towards the centre, and is uneven due to the presence of large boulders. A rectangular shaped hut site (WM013-084001- ) is visible against the interior of the bank in the SE quadrant, and a second hut site (WM013-084002- ) is visible against the interior of the bank in the NE quadrant.
