The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a small hill, in undulating pasture, with extensive views to N, E and W and overlooked by higher ground to S. In SE quadrant of ringfort (WM030-037----) are the remains of a square-shaped house-site (dims. L 5m) which is defined by a low bank of earth and stone. The bank has been disturbed at E, although this could be partly due to the presence of a doorway.
