The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating wet pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam.27m) defined by a low broad earthen scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.25m) with a shallow flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth at base 3-4m; overall Wth 5-6m; D 0.1m). Ringfort appears to have been partially levelled, hence the low profile of the enclosing elements. The interior is very slightly domed and clear of overgrowth.
