The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views to E, S and W, although restricted to N. In centre of ringfort (WM025-098----) are the remains of a long rectangular-shaped house site defined by an earth and stone bank. The structure has two or possibly three chambers and the entrance is not clearly visible. It is possible that the rectangular room to the N represents the remains of a second house site but this is uncertain
See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
