The monument comprises the remains of an enclosed settlement of prehistoric date represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies on a prominent knoll in arable farmland at around 45m OD, overlooking the Forth Valley. It comprises a roughly oval enclosure measuring some 50m NW-SE by about 50m NE-SW within a ditch which is 4m-5m wide. The enclosure has a well-defined SE-facing entrance.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the enclosure and an area around it in which traces of associated activity may be expected to survive. It is circular with a diameter of 90m as marked in red on the accompanying map.
