The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NW-facing slope in pasture. Hachured as a ringfort on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. A flat, grass-covered area (diam. c. 50m) defined by a slight scarp down to the interior from E to S, by a mound of spoil SW-NW with farm sheds at N and a straight field boundary at NE. The scarp is visible on Google Earth (imagery date 27 November 2010).
