The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland atop high ground with commanding views of the surrounding countryside in all directions. No surface remains visible of levelled enclosure which is depicted as being located inside a 19th-century grove of trees none of which have survives, field in reclaimed reseeded grassland and enclosure was probably levelled when the land improvements were undertaken. Hilltop location with impressive views in all directions is not a typical ringfort location.
