It is built of relatively large boulders and extends along the eastern edge of the hilltop for about 65 metres in a north-easterly/south-westerly direction. The wall was probably defensive and may originally have surrounded the whole hilltop settlement.
An abundant scatter of neolithic sherds found on the eastern slope of the hill suggest an even earlier settlement.
