The National Monuments Service's description
In flat pasture in with good views in all directions. A well-preserved ringfort consisting of a roughly circular area (diam. 25M NE-SW) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth 1m; base Wth. 2.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6m) with faint traces of an outer fosse visible in places. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.5m) at the ENE, now used as a cattle gap. The outline of an outer fosse is barely visible as a slight depression. There is a possible moated site (TS042-020----) 320m to the E.
