In reseeded grassland on a S-facing slope of rising ground in upland area with good extensive views from E through S to W, higher ground to N. Nearby possible enclosure (TS055-076----) 120m to NW and ringfort (TS055-056----) 200m to SE. Raised circular area (int. diam. 35m NW-SE; 38m E-W) enclosed by a bank which has been mainly reduced to a scarp (H 1-2m) and outer fosse (base Wth 1.5-2.5m; top Wth 4- 6m; ext. D 0.7-1.4m) with possible causewayed entrance gap (Wth 1.7m) at E. Cattle poaching on external face of scarp at SE otherwise monument is in a fair to good condition. Field boundaries to N and W have been removed and replaced with wire fencing. On 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map a field boundary running E-W intersects the ringfort at SW and SE, no remains of these field boundaries survive.
