The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on an E-facing slope, in pasture, with moderate views in all directions. In centre of moated site (WM025-096----) are the remains of four rectangular-shaped conjoined areas defined by low rubble stone banks running NNW-SSE which probably represents the remains of a hour or house sites. There is a slight depression extending roughly W from the W side of one of the house sites which is of unknown significance.
