Situated on a natural terrace on the N side of a high ridge. Roughly circular, round-topped mound (diam. 17m, H 1.5m). Partly quarried into on WNW. The ring of trees and encircling modern stone wall are part of landscaping. MacIvor (CLAJ 1950, 122-4) described the site as a ringfort, owing to the field name 'Liss field'.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
