The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture. In the centre and W quadrant of ringfort (WM024-087----) is a long rectangular house orientated NW-SE. It is defined by the remains of a low and broad, grass-covered bank. The house has two rooms divided by a similar low, broad bank. The doorways are not recognisable. The remains of a possible second structure adjoin the interior of the ringfort bank at ESE. The remainder of the interior of the ringfort is divided by similar banks.
See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
