The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise, in gently undulating pasture. Within the interior and occupying the S half of ringfort (WM024-037----) are the remains of a circular enclosure (dims. 18m E-W; 14.8m N-S) defined by a bank and a fosse. The low bank and shallow fosse are visible from W-N-E and this feature is incorporated into the ringfort bank from SSE-S-SSW. There is no obvious entrance visible.
