Situated on a low, natural rise, in generally level pasture with extensive views in all directions. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as the remains of an oval-shaped enclosure which has been truncated by a laneway to N and a building to E. Monument described in 1980 as a roughly circular-shaped area (approx. dims. 29ms NNW-SSE; 29.5m ENE-WSW) defined by an earth and stone bank which is best preserved from SSE-S-W, is slightly lower from SW-W. The bank is reduced to a scarp NW-N-SE. The remains of internal stone facing are visible at SW and W. There is no sign of an entrance. There is no visible trace of an external fosse. The perimeter has been modified from N-E-SE by a modern stone wall and a small shed associated with a house to SSE. The stone wall defines a laneway (long-axis WNW-ESE) to N, which leads to the house. The interior rises slightly from the perimeter towards the centre and is very uneven. There is a depression in the centre and off-centre to E caused by disturbance which has exposed stone within.
