The National Monuments Service's description

In the centre of ringfort (WM025-133----) is a long rectangular-shaped house site defined by a low broad bank. There are slight traces of internal divisions. Two irregular earth and stone banks extend from the NW and NE corner toward the ringfort bank. A low, wide linear bank of earth and stone running NE-SW extends from the E bank of the house site to the ringfort bank at NE.
