Towards the top of the S-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. Circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 34m) defined by three largely overgrown banks and two fosses. The inner bank (Wth 4.7-5m; int. H 0.3m at SE to 1.2m at NE; ext. H 0.8m at SE to 1.55m at N) W-N-SE is separated by a fosse (Wth of top 5.2-6.7m; Wth of base 4m) from a second bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.75m at SE to 1.45m at N; ext. H 1.4-1.5m) S-N-SE. There is a second fosse (Wth of top 4.7-5m; Wth of base 3.3m) S-N-SE, but a third outer bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m) only survives SSW-W (max. ext. diam. c. 60m). There is no identifiable original entrance, and a NW-SE field bank overlies the monument towards the perimeter at W. Standing stone (RO010-087001-) is c. 60m to the W and rath (RO010-091----) is c. 200m to the SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
