The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise, in undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. In the interior of ringfort (WM024-154----) are the remains of a circular-shaped flat-topped mound of stones which may represent a house site. This is defined by a bank of earth and stone which is reduced to a scarp from SE-S-W-NW and has been levelled from N-E. A number of boulders have been deposited on the interior of this scarp from SE-S. The monument is largely obscured by impenetrable vegetation.
