Description
Situated on a slight rise, in pasture. Enclosure (WM031-118---) lies c. 100m to NE. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 32m) enclosed by a low earth and stone bank with slight remains of an outer fosse. The interior is relatively level. A souterrain (WM031-048001-) is visible in the NW quadrant and a house site (WM031-048002-) is located in the centre.

Description
Situated on a hill, in pasture, with wide views of the surrounding landscape. Annotated 'Raghmore' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork. Ringfort described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 34m) enclosed by a scarp of earth and stone with a low drystone wall on top, with entrance gap at E.

A number of loose stones and small boulders are scattered across the surface. The whole monument is quite densely overgrown, making inspection difficult.
