The National Monuments Service's description
On relatively flat ground in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Ringfort conjoined with another ringfort (TS081-017002-). A roughly oval or triangular-shaped area (diam. 34.6m N-S; c. 45m E-W somewhat impeded by vegetation), enclosed by a earthen bank (Wth 1.3m crest, 3.5m base; int. H 0.62m; ext. H 0.8m). The E bank runs NE-SW forming a straight side. There is a gap in the bank at the angle in the SE quadrant, an area which is very overgrown with vegetation. There is an entrance (Wth 4.7m) in the NE sector where the bank on the E side continues in a northeasterly direction beyond the monument to form the NW quadrant of the conjoined ringfort. The interior is filled with dead nettles and some scrub, also scrub around the bank. A field bank follows the line of the ringfort in the N and E quadrants.
