The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S side of a rise, in gently undulating land, with good views to NW and SE. In SW quadrant of ringfort (WM025-097----) are the remains of an L-shaped area (dims. 5m WNW-ESE; 2.6m NNE-SSW) defined by an earth and stone bank (H 0.9m). The shorter bank forms a right angle with the longer bank at ESE and runs N. This may represent the corner of a rectangular-shaped house site. At the centre of the ringfort there is a small accumulation of loosely piled moss-covered stones.
