The National Monuments Service's description
In level wet pasture to N of centre within ringfort (TS057-008001-). Ringfort (TS057-009----) is visible c. 120m to the ESE and another ringfort (TS057-033----) is visible c. 180m to the NNW. Roughly circular slightly concave area (diam. 6m) enclosed by a low broad flat-topped earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.15m; Wth at top 1.8m; overall Wth. 4.4m). From NW-NE the bank is absent and the edge hut site is defined by a very slight inward facing scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable. Interior is slightly concave and clear of overgrowth. A straight section of a very low earthen bank (H 0.15m; Wth at top 1.6m; overall Wth. 3.8m) extends from the external side of the hut site at SW in a WSW direction toward the entrance to the ringfort.
