The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying terrain, in pasture. Ringfort (TS076-022001-) located c. 150m to WSW; enclosure (TS076-022002-), which may have been conjoined, is located immediately N and ringwork (TS076-022004-) is located 50m to SW. Enclosure has been ploughed over in the past. It survives as a roughly raised circular area (diam. 27.2m N-S to edge of field bank; 27.3m E-W) defined by scarp (H 0.32m over 1.7m in E quadrant and 0.68m over 5.5m in W quadrant) and shallow outer fosse (Wth 2.8-3.3m; D 0.06-0.49m in E and W sectors respectively). Interior sloping slightly to W. Field boundary runs E-W along N quadrant, slightly truncating the edge of the enclosure.
