The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on slight S facing slope with good views from SE-W. Levelled tree-ring (LI058-009003-) 80m to SE. Remains consist of a slightly raised circular-shaped area (diam. c. 10m) defined by a scarp (H 0.4m). Interior densely covered with scrub making detailed examination impossible. Known locally as a tree-ring and not as a ringfort. Outline of tree-lined earthwork visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 10/10/2006 and 18/11/2018. No surface remains visible of levelled tree-ring on Google Earth orthoimage taken 14/09/2019.
