The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in pasture. Described in 1972 (SMR file) as a platform type ringfort, circular in shape (diam. 29m N-S), the interior of which sloped down slightly from N-S. A depression in the S-half was interpreted as resulting from recent digging. Visible, in tillage, on Google Earth in 2011.
