Situated on top of a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Monument described in 1970 as in centre of ringfort (WM018-105----) there is a rectangular-shaped house site (dims. 8m N-S; 4.9m E-W) enclosed by a bank (basal Wth 1.7m; Wth at top 1m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.8m) of earth and stone with the remains of internal stone facing. The entrance is not visible and may have been on the S side, which has been demolished by quarrying.
