The National Monuments Service's description
Just off the crest of a hill in undulating terrain. The ground slopes gradually to the N, in pasture. The ringfort is fenced off with post and wire fencing and the interior is quite overgrown with nettles and brambles and mature trees around the bank. A circular area (diam. c. 37m) enclosed by an earthen and stone bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.7-1.25m; ext. H 0.9-1.3m). Clay and dead wood have been dumped in the centre of the monument. The monument's location adjacent to an avenue up to a big house suggests that the ringfort was utilised as a landscape feature.
