The site occupies a slightly raised oval area on a gentle southwest-facing slope, enclosed by a low broad bank of earth and stone. A curving drystone field crosses the interior and links to the enclosing bank at both ends, while large field clearance rocks rest on top of the bank at the northwest and northeast.
