The monument comprises the remains of an enclosed settlement of prehistoric date represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs.
The monument lies in arable farmland at around 25m OD. It comprises the remains of a sub-rectangular enclosure measuring about 60m by 60m within a ditch some 2-3m wide. Sub-rectangular enclosures of this kind are generally associated with the period of Roman influence in southern and central Scotland.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the cropmark remains and an area around in which traces of associated material may be expected to survive. It is an irregular quadrilateral in shape with maximum dimensions of 110m NE-SW by 95m as marked in red on the accompanying map.
