The subcircular site measures 70 metres north-south and 76 metres east-west on a west-facing slope above western bogland. An earth and stone bank surrounds the area, while an outer ditch is visible only in the northwest. A probable modern gap opens to the south, but the original entrance remains at the southeast.
