The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S side of a high, gradual rise, in pasture, with excellent views to E, SE and S. In the NE quadrant of moated site (WM025-091----) a narrow view into a drystone souterrain is visible where one roof slab has been displaced. This appears to be the end of a gallery or a passage, however it is not accessible. Toward the centre of the enclosure a large stone protrudes above the surface and may be associated with this subterranean structure. A house site (WM025-091001-) is to SW.
