Located on a rise in gently undulating pasture, in an area of mixed pasture and wetland. The Gweestion River is 150m to E.
Roughly circular platform (29.3m N−S; 32.4m E−W) defined by an earthen scarp (H 1.4m at S, 2-2.3m at N).
The scarp is rather dilapidated, with sections dug away at NW−N. It has a broad external slump at N−NE, and is incorporated into/truncated into a straight N-S field fence at E. At S−SW the scarp has been cut to the vertical, incorporates large stones and hawthorn bushes grow on it.
The interior is grassy, with an uneven surface, with a noticeable dip or drop in ground level in the SE quadrant. An oblong depression (9.5m NNE−SSW; 5m WNW−ESE; D 1m at W, 0.6m at E) extends from the edge of the scarp at SSW into the interior to NNE –this appears to be the result of disturbance in the modern era.
The scarp is ringed with hawthorn bushes, densest at S−W. A heap of field clearance stones is piled against the scarp at W.
