The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the summit of a fairly large ridge in undulating grassland, with commanding views of the surrounding countryside in all directions. A rectangular platform (approx. diam. 9,8m NNW-SSE; 7.5m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a low wide bank (Wth 3.7m; H 0.25m) which is open on ENE side appears to be the remains of a hut site in NW quadrant of a ringfort (WM013-035---).
