The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating and hilly pasture, with good views in all directions. In the S quadrant of ringfort (WM024-040----) are the remains of a roughly rectangular-shaped house site (dims. 5.5m E-W; 5.2m N-S) defined by a slight earth and stone bank. A similar low bank defines a long area (L 9.1m; Wth 2.9m) on the N side of the hut site which be some form of annexe. The entrance to the house site and possible annexe are not visible.
See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by ASI.
