Visible as a feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: M 153-4), and situated on top of Moydow Hill. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 68m E-W; c. 66m NW-SE) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2-3.7m; H 0.2-0.4m) with some outer facing stones SW-ENE, which is reduced to a slight scarp ENE-SE and removed elsewhere. Cairn (RO042-017003-) is at the centre, and a NE-SW field wall of field system (RO042-017002-) overlies the interior SE of the cairn, but the perimeter can barely be traced in reclaimed grassland SE of this. There is a telecommunications mast within the enclosure.

On top of Moydow Hill. An area of about 6.5 acres (c. 2.5 ha) contains straight sections of grass-covered stone spreads (Wth c. 3m; H 0.2-0.3m) forming walls (L c. 100-130m) which create parallel strips (Wth c. 30-50m) radiating generally from the top of the hill. One NE-SW field wall overlies the interior of hilltop enclosure (RO042-017001-).
