This scooped settlement lies on the NW bank of the Martinlee Sike, immediately N of the public road from Carter Bar to Hawick. The ground to the N is peat-covered, but the site is situated at the top of a hillslope covered in cultivation remains (NT60NE 20.03).
The settlement, which is oval on plan, measures 32m from NW to SE by 29m transversely within a stony bank spread to 2.5m in thickness and 0.6m in height with an entrance on the SE. The wall is accompanied by a shallow external ditch, some 2.5m in width and 0.3m in depth. The entrance opens into a scooped area or forecourt around which on the NW and SW there is a terrace some 15m in breadth. A small hut has been built against the bank on the SW side of the entrance.
