The scarp and its upper edge are occupied by a spread of boulders and smaller stones. At the foot of the scarp at S is a kerb of boulders two courses high (H 0.6m). No fosse.

At the outer foot of the scarp at the portion SSW of this is a plantation of coniferous trees. Within the NW quadrant is a hollow or pit (dims. 4m x 6m; D 0.6m). Compiled by: Patrick F.
