The National Monuments Service's description
In average pasture, on a terrace on the gentle S-facing slope of a knoll. Good views to E, restricted by rising ground to N and by trees to S.
This monument is shown as a circular ringfort-sized enclosure (diam. 25-30m) on the 1837-8 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It has been levelled, and a modern house partly overlies the location. The house stands on a platform that may partly reflect the original outline of the enclosure.
