What is recorded here
Situated on top of a high, steep-sided hill, which has been planted with deciduous trees. The Crumpaun River skirts the base of the hill on the E side. This hilltop enclosure consists of an oval-shaped area (c. 85m NW−SE; c. 65m NE−SW) defined by a low bank (Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.9m at W) of earth and stone, which encloses the summit of the hill. The internal ground level rises from the perimeter towards the centre. There is a cairn, erected by the Ordnance Survey, in the SW quadrant of the interior, marking the highest point on the hill.
