The National Monuments Service's description
On a SE-facing slope in rolling terrain, under tillage. Depicted on the 1st (1840) OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m N-S; c. 24m E-W) with an external field boundary running outside the W bank, while on the 2nd (1907) ed. the monument is marked as a curving bivallate enclosure, the E side of which appears to be truncated by a field boundary. Also on the 25-inch OS map only the western half of the monument is depicted, with an inner bank (int. diam. c. 25m), a wide fosse and an outer bank (overall diam. c. 44.5m). There is no visible remains of the monument above ground which, according to the landowner, was levelled in 1984. There is a souterrain (TS088-010002-) c. 30-40m to the NE of the ringfort.
