The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise in pasture-land on the landscaped demesne lands of Benison Lodge 500m to SW. Ringfort (WM007-033----) which appears to have been converted into a tree-ring in the post 1700 period as part of the landscaping of the lands around Benison Lodge. Remains of a rectangular house site (approx. dims. 6m NE-SW x 5m NW-SE) visible in the NW quadrant of a ringfort (WM007-033----). It is possible that this building may be the remains of a post-1700 summer house associated with Benison Lodge.
