The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on W-facing slope of a low rise, in gently undulating pasture, with moderate views in all directions. In the immediate vicinity of a ringfort (WM025-106001-) there is a field system consisting of linear and curvilinear banks, scarps and depressions. It is older than the modern field system, although its chronological relationship to the ringfort is difficult to determine. This complex does not appear to continue on the W side of the public road.
