The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, on slight SE facing slope. All that survives of this levelled earthwork (diam. c. 10m N-S x 20m E-W) is a kink in the field boundary which appears to follow the line of the enclosing element of the earthwork at W. Area of rough ground to E of field boundary marks site of levelled earthwork. Curving field boundary to W has been levelled in recent times and is no longer visible on Google Earth orthoimages. Depicted as a tree-ring and not as a ringfort on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map.
