The National Monuments Service's description
Near the top of a hill in undulating fertile pasture with panoramic views. Hachured as a ringfort only on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. By the 1919 Cassini edition houses had been built at the site. A very low earthen bank was noted N of one of the houses on inspection in 1999 but this is c. 50m E of the location as shown on the 1st edition. Not visible at ground level.
