Its bank is 7.75 metres wide overall, 1.5 metres wide at the top, 0.6 metres high internally and 2.1 metres high externally.

In generally level, elevated area of improved pasture. Circular area (dims. 33m E-W; 32m N-S) defined by bank (overall Wth 7.75m; Wth at top 1.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.1m) with occasional breaches.

Wide causeway (overall Wth 12m) S-SSW, has possibly been modified by additional backfilling of soil. Second causeway (Wth 3m) at WSW, possibly due to erosion by livestock causing slippage into fosse. Interior is generally level. Ringfort (TS061-080----) is c. 28m to WNW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
