The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on NNW-facing slope, on a gentle rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. In the W quadrant of ringfort (WM025-137----) is a sub-rectangular-shaped house site (dims. 8.2m N-S; 7.2m E-W) defined by a low bank (Wth 0.9m) which is reduced to a scarp in places. A slight bank (L 13.5m) of earth and stone runs WSW-ENE from the SW corner to the ringfort bank at WSW.
