The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on ridge, with excellent views in all directions. Shown on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25-30m), probably a ringfort. According to local information, this enclosure was levelled in the early 20th century. Slight surface undulations mark the location.
