The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a rise, on the E side of a hill, in rough pasture and scrub, with good views to N, E and SE. In the N quadrant of ringfort (WM024-101----) are the remains of a subrectangular-shaped house site (dims. 5m E-W; 4.6m N-S) enclosed by a substantial earthen and stone bank. A gap (Wth at top 2.2m; basal Wth 1.5m) at the E end may represent the doorway. There are slight remains of a second potential house site in the S quadrant of the ringfort.
