The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the shoulder of a hill, where land falls steeply to NE, E and SE. In the centre and W quadrant of ringfort (WM018-091----) are the remains of two irregular shaped depressions, which appear to merge together and represent the remains of a collapsed souterrain.
We would classify this as ‘Souterrain, possible’ based on field report.
