Situated on a slight natural rise in gently undulating grassland. Ringfort (WM009-026---) 140m to NW. Present remains consist of a poorly preserved D-shaped area (approx. diam. 26m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank. The perimeter of the site has been destroyed by quarrying from ENE-S-WSW. On the E & N sides the perimeter of the monument is intersected by field fences. In the S quadrant is a circular steep-sided depression with a long depression extending N from its N side which may represent the remains of a souterrain although this is not certain. At the centre of the site are the remains of a conjoined hut site (WM009-027001-), visible as a rectangular and a circular hollow. The circular hollow (diam. 3.2m; D 0.7m) is centrally located, with the adjoining rectangular hollow (diam. 1.8m NE-SW; 1.5m NW-SE; D 0.8m) on its NW side.
See attached plan of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
