The National Monuments Service's description
On an SE-facing slope in undulating pastureland, with wide views. Hachured on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This subrectangular ringfort (29.5m NE-SW; 26.5m NW-SE) is defined by a scarp (H 1m). Loose stones and field-clearance rubble are visible on the surface of the undulating interior. The NE side of the ringfort abuts a levelled field boundary running NW-SE. A medieval church (CL008-063001-) within a graveyard (CL008-063002-) lies c. 85m to the W.
