The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low ridge, in pasture, with good views to the S, but limited elsewhere. On a level, raised platform, in the NW quadrant of ringfort (WM018-144----) are the remains of a rectangular-shaped house site (dims. 8.2m NNW-SSE; 5m ENE-WSW) defined by the faint outline of a very low bank (overall Wth 2.5m; H 0.5m) with some stones visible in places.
See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
