The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture with ringfort (TS057-008001-) visible c. 120m to the WNW. Circular raised area (diam. 14m) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth at top 1.8m; overall Wth. 7.9m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.85m) with a silted up external fosse (Wth 5-8m). Poorly defined break (Wth 5m) in the bank at SE appears to mark the position of the original entrance. Interior slopes slightly facing SSE and is clear of overgrowth.
