The National Monuments Service's description
In a ringfort (KE056-030----). A circular opening (diam. 0.9m; min. D 1.2m) is visible in the base of the exterior bank at NW. A corresponding depression (L c. 4m; Wth c. 1.4m; D c. 0.45m) in the interior at NW is possibly a slumped passage. According to local information, the passage is stone corbelled and extends from the circular opening in a S direction.
