The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a slight but prominent natural rise, ringfort (WM003-025----) 140m to NNW, church site (WM003-006---) 160m to SSW. The grass-covered wall footings of a small rectangular house site with entrance gap at S are visible in S quadrant of a ringfort (WM003-026----). Extending NNE from the N corner of the inside of the inner bank on the NNE is a slight embankment. A series of low earthen banks to the E and W of the ringfort probably represent an ancient field system (WM003-026002-) contemporaneous with the monument.
