What may be the remains of a ring-ditch house are situated in rough pasture on a gentle S-facing slope close to the summit of Bow Hill. Only the N half of the structure survives and is represented by an arc of ditch measuring up to 3.4m in breadth and 0.2m in depth. The overall diameter is about 9.6m, and the low, central mound measures about 3.8m in diameter.
