It occupies a low hill in pasture and preserves a roughly circular raised area measuring thirty-two metres north-south and twenty-nine metres east-west. A very low bank of earth and stone, four point four metres wide and zero point three metre high, encloses the space beside a shallow external fosse four metres wide. The original entrance no longer remains visible.
