In pasture, on a low rise. A raised oval area (27.5m NW-SE; 30.9m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) apart for a short section at N which is defined by a scarp. The bank is low internally NW-NE. There is a gap (Wth 7.2m) in the bank at NE. The interior slopes gently down from the centre towards the N and NW. There is a sod-covered field clearance cairn (diam. 2m; H 0.3m) in the interior close to the gap. There is a limekiln (SL025-065001-) c. 40m to NE.
