The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a rise. A bungalow lies immediately to E.
This monument, probably a ringfort, is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch maps as the eastern of two conjoined circular embanked enclosures; the second enclosure (MA072-078001-) is appended to its W side. It is not shown on the 1930 6-inch edition.
The remains consist of a slightly raised, roughly oval area (c. 21m N–S; 25.7m E–W) defined E−SE by a curving scarp (H 0.6m at ESE, 1.4m at S). A field wall/property boundary, on a N–S axis, overlies the W edge where it was conjoined with the second enclosure (MA072-078001-). At N–NE the enclosing element has been dug away. The interior area is level and grassy.
