The National Monuments Service's description
Near the S foot of a very gentle S-facing slope in improved pasture. Described in 1972 as a circular ringfort defined by a bank, but too densely overgrown with bushes and briars to allow a full record to be made, and subsequently found, upon a revisit in 1986, to have been levelled as a consequence of land improvement (SMR file). No visible surface traces survive.
