The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight natural rise in gently undulating grassland. Ringfort (WM009-026---) 140m to NW. Possible conjoined hut sites visible as a rectangular and a circular hollow in the centre of a ringfort (WM009-027----). The circular hollow (diam. 3.2m; D 0.7m) is centrally located, with the adjoining rectangular hollow (diam. 1.8m NE-SW; 1.5m NW-SE; D 0.8m) on its NW side. In the S quadrant there is a circular steep-sided depression with a long depression extending N from its N side which may represent the remains of a souterrain although this is not certain.
