The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a low ridge in low-lying arable land. Named 'fort' on the 1837 OS 6-inch map and shown as a univallate circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) with a central feature which may have been a house site. This is probably a levelled ringfort. Located at the apex of ridge in the midst of tillage fields. At time of visit it was recently ploughed and a stony area with occasional large stones was visible. Directly west is Feltrim Hill.
