The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on a 1969 aerial photograph (CUCAP AYP 58) as the cropmarks of a probable ringfort site (KD013-003001-) with traces of a field system apparently both radiating off and encircling it (est max diam. c. 160m). Near the top of a long, gentle, SE-facing pasture slope. No visible surface traces survive.
