The National Monuments Service's description
In a flat area in reclaimed pasture. Hachured as a ringfort on the 1840 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1999 an arc of outer facing stones (chord 10m) were noted at what would have been the N perimeter of the enclosure along a laneway. Spoil has been dumped against this boundary.
