The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise, on the ENE side of a hill, in rough scrubby pasture, with good views to SE and NW. Outline of a house site in E quadrant of ringfort (WM024-105----) consists of a roughly sub-rectangular-shaped platform (13.6m E-W; 9.4m N-S) defined by a scarp. In the W quadrant is a roughly oval-shaped rise which may represent a second house site. A very slight earth and stone bank extends from this to the NW where it intersects the ringfort bank. The fragmentary remains of a third possible house site adjoin the ringfort bank in the NE quadrant.
See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
