A low bank, largely reduced to a scarp 1.55 metres high, surrounds a raised circular area 25 metres from north to south. An outer ditch, about 2.8 metres wide and 0.44 metres deep, runs outside that bank.

Located on a SE-facing slope in very hummocky, undulating terrain in poor pastureland. A raised circular area (25m N-S) defined by a low bank largely reduced to a scarp (H 1.55m) and an outer fosse (Wth c. 2.8m; D 0.44m) with quite a lot of scrub in the wet, muddy interior. A stone wall tops the bank at W and a low, drystone wall runs SE of the site. A roadway aligned NW-SE runs immediately NE of the site.
