On top of a flat-topped hill on the E side of the Dinin river valley, in rolling pasture. There are commanding views in all directions. Another ringfort (KK014-015003-) is located c. 20m to the N. When visited in 1972 it consisted of a circular, flat area (diam. c. 70m) enclosed by a wide, low earthen bank and broad shallow external fosse and is described in 1987 as being levelled, with a barely discernible bank (int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H c. 0.3m, increasing to c. 1m in the E sector). The interior slopes to the SE.
