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. Ringfort (WM003-026----) with grass-covered wall footings of a rectangular house site (WM003-026001-) visible in S quadrant. A series of low earthen banks to the E and W of the ringfort probably represent an ancient field system contemporaneous with the monument. These earthworks are visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
