OSi 6-inch map and is later depicted as a circular enclosure (ext. dims. c. 48m N-S; 46.5m E-W) surrounded by a fosse on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. The ringfort is visible on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. The enclosure is visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018 and 14/02/2020.
