The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a rocky scrub-covered knoll, in undulating rough pasture, with excellent views of the surrounding landscape. In the SE quadrant of ringfort (WM024-120----) are the remains of a large rectangular-shaped house site (dims. 6m N-S; 3.5m E-W). A stone wall extends from the corner of the house at SW and runs towards the ringfort bank at S.
