The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on gently elevated ground, overlooking an expanse of lowlying pasture.
This ringfort is shown the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a subcircular embanked enclosure, clipped at E by a N−S field fence; a D-shaped enclosure (c. 30m N−S; c. 20m E−W to fence), bordered on the straight side at E by a N−S field boundary, is shown on the 25-inch plan; it is not shown on the 1930 OS 6-inch edition.
It has been levelled and there is no trace at ground level. According to local tradition, it contains a souterrain (MA072-053001-).
