The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SE-facing slope of hill in gently undulating pastureland. A large, roughly circular area (diam. 40.8m E-W; N-S not obtainable) enclosed by a very stoney bank (Wth 2m crest; 2.9m base; int. H 0.47m-0.75m upslope; ext. H 0.57m-1.12m downslope) which is largely reduced to scarp in the SE quadrant (1.12m H). The S side of the ringfort is badly overgrown with brambles and scrub. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.4m) in the E quadrant, the bank terminates on N side, however, the bank to the S is reduced to scarp.
