This enclosure lies on level ground on the right bank of the Hartwood Burn, 500 yds SSW of Brownmoor farmhouse and at a height of 670ft OD. It is circular on plan, with a diameter of 100ft, and is surrounded by an earthen bank 10ft in width which stands 2ft in height. A farm-track, running from N to S beside the burn, goes through the enclosure, which has no appearance of antiquity.
