The National Monuments Service's description
On very gentle S-facing slope, under tillage, in gently undulating terrain. Monument defined by scarp (H 1.7 over 1.8m) and a U-shaped fosse (Wth 1.3m; D 0.77m). Most of the E half of the ringfort has been destroyed by quarrying and a field boundary runs N-S along the eastern edge. The field in which the ringfort stands is under tillage, with ploughing up to the edge of the fosse. The interior, bank and fosse are heavily overgrown with scrub, brambles and nettles. The ringfort is depicted as being roughly circular on the 1904-05 ed. OS 6-inch map (diam. c. 41m).
