The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying, improved pasture, skirted by a stream at E. Described in 1955 as 'a ringfort defined by a low bank and external fosse' which was levelled c. 1970 (SMR file). A circular area survives (diam. c. 42m) and is defined by a low scarp (H 0.3m) which is girdled by a vegetation band of nettle and thistle growing on the line of an outer fosse. Visible on a 2005 aerial photo (OSi Orthophoto).
