Cropmark of a large rectangular enclosure of at least four adjoining compartments, aligned NW-SE. The easternmost compartment is palisaded, a pit alignment is visible on the whole of the perimeter, and the rest is defined by a thin linear trace.

Information from Mrs M Greig (Grampian Regional Council), 24 April 1995.

The monument comprises the remains of a long rectangular enclosure defined by pits and ditches, visible as a cropmark on oblique aerial photographs. The enclosure is at least 150m long and c. 20m wide. There are at least three transverse lines of pits, cutting the enclosure into four rectangular segments. The easternmost segment is defined wholly by pits; the other segments have a continuous ditch on their long sides.
