The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. In SSE quadrant of ringfort (WM025-082----) is a rectangular-shaped house site (dims. 7.8m NW-SE; 6.1m NE-SW) defined by a slight bank (approx. Wth 1.3m). A second house site (WM025-082001-) is visible to NW. Two small mounds and a large stone inside the ringfort bank at S may be the remains of a third possible structure, of a lean-to style. Monument is visible as a roughly rectangular-shaped earthwork on oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP AJQ089/AOY101/102/BDK028) taken 09/07/1964, 12/07/1966 and 14/07/1970 respectively.
