The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pasture. This is the easternmost of a group of three ringforts with a second ringfort (TS058-017002-) located 10m to the SW and a third (TS058-017003-) 20m to the W. Circular raised area (diam. c. 20m) defined by a low broad earthen bank (overall Wth c. 4m; Wth at top c. 1m; int. H c. 0.2m; ext. Hc.1.4m). At the external base of the bank is a wide waterlogged fosse (Wth at base 3m; D 0.75m) and a low broad external earthen bank (overall Wth 5.8m; Wth at top 3m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.2m). An E-W orientated farm trackway lies along the external base of the external bank NNW-NE. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and is inaccessible due to a dense overgrowth of bushes and briars.
