The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating reclaimed pasture with some nearby thickets of dense hazel. Depicted on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map as a ringfort - an enclosed subcircular area (est. diams. c. 30m NW-SE; c. 28m NE-SW) - and indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. When inspected in 1999, no surface traces were visible.
