The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the base of a W-facing slope of a low ridge, in wet pasture. Ringfort (WM026-070----) lies c. 90m to NW. Monument described in 1982 as a small mound of earth and burnt stones. The mound (diam. 5m; H 0.5-0.6m) is roughly U-shaped, with a depression to the W, which probably represents the trough. There is a lot of disturbance in the sides of the mound which have exposed large quantities of burnt stone, yet no bone or any other identifiable remains. Monument is visible on Digital Globe aerial photography as a small subcircular-shaped mound.
