OS 6" map (1968)
On a low ridge 70 yds from the right bank of the Lochurd Burn there is an oval enclosure measuring 200ft by 100ft within a ploughed-out bank which is spread to a width of 30ft and stands to a height of only a few inches. The entrance is on the E.

All that now remains is a slight scarp following the original shape. During ploughing, which has removed any banks, the farmer removed a considerable amount of sand and some gravel.
Revised at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (EGC) 27 August 1964 and (SFS) 4 November 1974
