What is recorded here
Situated on a natural rise, in gently undulating and hilly pasture, with good views in all directions. In ringfort (WM025-038----) there is a rectangular-shaped depression (dims. 4m N-S; 3.5m E-W) defined by stone-faced sides which may be the remains of a house site. The masonry and sides of the depression are broken in places. The entrance is not clearly visible. Extending in an irregular line from the house site to the inside of the ringfort bank at SE are the grass covered wall footings of what appears to have been an internal partition wall.
