The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SSE-facing slope. Oval area (dims. c. 25m N-S; c. 18m E-W) defined by low earthen bank (int. Wth 2.15m; ext. Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.45m) SW-W-NE and scarp (Wth 4m; H 1m) ESE-SW. Bank (L c. 14m) has been levelled out ENE-ESE, probably in the area of the original entrance and only a slight lip rises here from exterior to interior. Interior slopes down sharply to S with prevalent slope. Ringfort (TS068-058001-) and enclosure (TS068-058002-) are located c. 335m to NW.
