The National Monuments Service's description

Possible bivallate ringfort located on the E-facing slope of a low hillock on undulating land, under tillage. Indicated on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure consisting of a double ring, but not indicated on subsequent 1901-5 ed. The site has been levelled and but may have been located on a natural scarp in the field which provides a level area (diam. c. 40m) and appears to have a slight hint of a bank at N. Cropmark of bivallate ringort (TN017-089----) 180m to NE.
