The National Monuments Service's description

Situated near the top of a rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. In centre of ringfort (WM025-083----) are the remains of a subrectangular-shaped house site defined by a bank of earth and stone. Its entrance is not recognisable, although it may have been in the E side where the bank is much denuded. A possible second house site adjoins to N defined by the remains of a low, irregular mound of earth and stone. Extending from its NE corner is a low, narrow bank of earth and stones which fans out and adjoins the ringfort bank at N.
