An oval shaped area, approx' 75 meters across at its widest, with an obvious ditch...
Not much really to see, but a good feel to the place with fine views up the Longdendale valley.
Only a short walk from the Pennine way, a public footpath passes directly to the north of the site.
Nearby, a ruined farm (called Highstones) has an interesting carved door lintel from 1732.
