What is recorded here
Situated on a steep side oval-shaped hill, in pasture, with extensive views in all directions. In centre of ringfort (WM018-108----) is a rectangular-shaped house site (dims. 9.5m N-S; 3.8m E-W) defined by poorly preserved, sod-covered wall footings (approx. Wth 1.4m; H 0.3m), best visible along W side, no more than a line of stones on the surface elsewhere. A gap (approx. Wth 1.8m) in the E wall may represent the site of a doorway. The very poorly preserved remains of an internal dividing wall consist of a line of stones running E-W across the interior of the house site. The interior consists of two rectangular rooms: The room (dims. 4m N-S; 3m E-W) at S is slightly larger than the room (dims. 3.1m N-S; 3.2m E-W) to N.
