The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a small rise, in gently undulating rough pasture, which is poorly drained in places. Within the N quadrant of ringfort (WM020-019----) are the remains of a small subrectangular-shaped platform defined by traces of an earthen bank. This presumably represents a house site.
