The National Monuments Service's description
Just off the summit of a hill, on ground sloping to the SW, in undulating pastureland. A ringfort (diam. c. 28m N-S; c. 25m E-W) heavily overgrown with scrub and brambles. The interior and edge of the monument are not accessible, except the SW quadrant. Where visible the ringfort is delimited by scarp (H 1.2m) and an outer fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.25m). A NE-SW field boundary runs along the NW quadrant.
