The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating and low-lying wet pasture, with good views in all directions. In the centre of ringfort (WM025-056----) are the poorly preserved remains of a rectangular-shaped house site (dims. 7m NW-SE; 6m NE-SW). Old field banks run outside the outer bank at NW, N and one intersects the perimeter at SW. A low bank (approx. L 7m) runs into the interior from SW and may be an old field bank.
