The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views except where limited from SE-S-SW due to higher ground. In SW quadrant of ringfort (WM018-100----) are the remains of a large subrectangular-shaped area (dims. 11m NE-SW; 10m NW-SE) defined by a low earth and stone bank. Monument is visible as a grass covered house site on Digital Globe aerial photography.
