In grassland atop low rise of ground on a SE-facing slope of rising ground in upland region with good views in all directions. Poorly preserved remains of a levelled ringfort consists of a circular area (approx. diam. 45m NW-SE) defined by a low rise of ground barely visible from W through N through E to SE where it is intersected by a curving field boundary which preserves the original earth and stone bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 5m; int. H0.5m; ext. H 1m) from SE through S to SW only. No other features visible.
