Located on a broad ridge top, in rough pasture broken by E–W seams of limestone outcropping. Immediately to S, the ground dips gently into a narrow, shallow E-W valley of wet ground. Oval enclosure (diam. c. 30.5m N–S; c. 26m E–W) defined by remnants of a stone bank /wall. The stone bank appears as a very low-profile, grass- and moss-covered rise (Wth 1.4-c. 2m; H 0.3-0.4m) from which occasional stones protrude. It is most clearly traced at N–NE and at SE-SW; elsewhere, it is barely discernible as a slight rise or cropmark of moss or low juniper scrub, and at SW-NW it is almost entirely levelled. The interior has a rough, hummock-covered suface, with seams of limestone breaking the surface in the S half. A shallow E–W central dip marks a tractor route through the interior, bracketted at E by a gap (Wth 4m), possibly an original entrance, in the enclosing wall, and at W by a levelled section of wall.
