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-), there are the remains of a building (dims. 12m NE-SW; 4.7m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.2-0.25m; ext. H 0.15-0.2m; Wth at top 0.8m; overall Wth 1.6m). It is in the SE of the interior, aligned NE-SW inside the inner bank of the ringwork. The S side is conjoined with the bank of the ringwork (int. H 0.45m; Wth at top 1m). There is also a probable rectangular house (KK013-059002-) in the W quadrant, with a building (KK013-059004-) at right angles to it to the N and another (KK013-059005-) to the S.
