The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Hut site described in 1971 and 1977 as located in centre of ringfort (WM024-073----). The outline of a large subrectangular-shaped house is visible in the centre. An earthen bank extends from the NW end of the house to the ringfort bank at SW, while a parallel bank extends from the SW corner of the house in the same direction. A short earthen bank (approx. L 4m) extends across the N quadrant from the interior of the bank at N and there is a small triangular platform immediately adjacent to W.
See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
