The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a prominent ridge, in pasture. The N52 road lies c. 70m to E. Immediately S and SW of ringfort (WM026-025001-) are a complex of field banks with associated hut sites. There are two rectangular-shaped house sites, three possible house sites and a number of banks running E-W. A portion of a field bank which seems to be part of this complex, has been built up against the exterior of the outer ringfort bank from NW-N-E-S, which would suggest that these external features area later in date. Part of a very slight bank seems to cross the fosse of the ringfort at N.
