The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle E-facing slope in pasture. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a bank is visible on Digital Globe satellite imagery (c. 2010) with a possible entrance at SE. Indicated on the 1921 OS 6-inch map as a subcircular field. A Google Earth image (2020) shows the E sector has been removed. An area of unreclaimed scrub lying immediately to the N may contain associated features. This possible ringfort was reported to the National Monuments Service by David Galvin.
