Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (dims. c. 45m N-S; c. 30m E-W) on the 1840 ed. and as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1926 ed. of the OS 6-inch maps. On the 1840 ed. it is marked as conjoined with the possible ringfort site (WA016-016----) immediately to the W. Situated on an E-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level in pasture.
