The National Monuments Service's description
Described in 1977 as a ringfort situated on a slight rise of ground which is overlooked by a low E-W ridge to the E, extensive views to the S, W and NW. Ringfort (WM032-109----) located 250m to the NE. The monument consists of an oval-shaped area (diam. 54m N-S; 49m E-W) defined by a low earth and stone bank and a shallow external fosse that is only visible from N-E-SE. There is no evidence of an entrance feature. The interior is slightly uneven and slopes slightly from W to E.
