The National Monuments Service's description
On level pasture with good views in all directions, ringfort (WM033-023----) and standing stone (WM023-023001-) located 485m to E. Circular area (diam. 35m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by a low earth and stone bank with traces of an external fosse almost completely filled in. No clear entrance feature visible. A large gap in the bank at N appears to be a later feature. A large portion of the bank has been removed at NNW.
