The National Monuments Service's description

On the W side of a NW-SE valley, a little below the crest of the ridge in reclaimed grassland. Within the interior of a ringwork (KK013-059001-), on the W side, aligned N-S. There remains of a probable house (dims. 15m N-S; 5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.45-0.6m; ext. H 0.08-0.43m; Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 2.7m). It is the largest building in the interior and has a building at right angle to it to the N (KK013-059004-) and another to the S (KK013-059005-). There is another building (KK013-059006-) in the SE of the interior, aligned NE-SW inside the inner bank of the ringwork. There is an entrance (Wth 1.5m) mid-way along the E side of the building and another possible entrance (Wth 1.5m) at the S end of the W side.
