The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in undulating pasture. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a long rectangular-shaped structure. In the S quadrant of ringfort (WM024-170----) are the grass-covered wall footings of a rectangular-shaped aligned E-W on its long axis, a gap in the centre of the N side may represent the doorway. The house is divided internally by two cross banks. There is a smaller rectangular house site (WM024-170002-) to E.
