Full Description

NF96SW 10 9061 6263.

'A sub-rectangular grass covered rubble mound or raised area with flat top, as marked on the 1:25,000 map, is surrounded by a moat some 7m to 9m wide (now filled with moss) which is possibly crossed by stepping stones to SW. Height of mound may be disguised by peat in moat and internal features may yet be undisturbed. On the mound partly ruined drystone walls form a relatively modern enclosure, about 12m in width and length internally. Concave walling on SW edge of mound may or may not be part of the original mound'.
G R Curtis and M R Ponting 1986.
