H 0.6m, ext. H 0.2m; at SW int. H 0.4m, ext. H 0.6m). A scarp (H 1.7m) defines the S half of the SE side. The NW side is terraced into the upslope with the interior 0.3m lower than external ground level. The interior is raised on the S side to compensate for the hillslope. Indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A rath (SL032-094001-) lies c. 40m to NNE.
