The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a NNW-facing slope. Depicted on the 2nd ed. (1897-8) OS 6-inch map as a circular area (diam. c. 29m) enclosed by a bank W-S and by a field boundary S-W. A small stretch of an earthen enclosing bank has been preserved in a field boundary along the SW arc while elsewhere a slight rise in the field suggests the line of bank. The interior is under pasture and slopes to the NNW. According to the landowner, the ringfort was levelled sometime between 1965 and 1970.
