The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a prominent rise, in woodland, surrounded by pasture. In the centre of ringfort (WM026-091----) is a rectangular-shaped house site (dims. 4.5m NNE-SSW; approx. 3.7m ESE-WNW) defined by the fragmentary remains of an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.1m; H 0.3m). Its entrance is not recognisable, however a wide gap in the E side may suggest a doorway.
