The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture with a stream c. 75m to NE. In the centre of a ringfort (WM024-042----) are the remains of a subrectangular-shaped house site (dims. 6.9m NNW-SSE; 6m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank. The bank is higher on the inside than the outside due to the interior being sunken below the external ground level. An entrance gap (Wth 1.2m) at SSE end is flanked by two large stones. There is a modern gap in the N corner.
