The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, poorly drained pasture. A ringfort (TS063-011----) is located c. 340m to SE. A sub-oval area (dims. 24m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by the remains of a bank (Wth at top 2m; overall Wth 6.05m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1m) at WNW and S, otherwise reduced to scarp (Wth 1.5m; H 0.85m), and the shallow remains of waterlogged fosse (Wth c. 4m; Dth c. 0.05m) ESE-S, best preserved (basal Wth 2.5m; overall Wth 4.5m; D 0.15m) at NW. The fosse is obscured by vegetation in the NE sector. There is a gap (Wth 4m) at WNW and another (Wth 5.5m) at S. The monument is truncated by a linear drain (D 1.7m) and field boundary across the WSW sector. The interior is generally level except where the linear depression of a driving line aligned NW-SE traverses off-centre to W, between the two gaps.
