The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight natural rise surrounded by hilly grass-land. Ringfort (WM008-039---) 70m to SE. A raised sub-rectangular shaped area long axis WNW-ESE, enclosed by a grass-covered bank and traces of an outer bank and fosse at N. The monument is divided internally by an earthen bank which has gaps which may represent doorways. Appears to be the grass-covered remains of a rectangular house of unknown antiquity.
