The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise with fairly good views of the surrounding countryside. Ringfort (WM002-021----) 35m to E. The outline of this levelled monument is barely visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs taken November 2011. Upstanding monument described in 1974 as a small circular area (diam. 29m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by a low poorly preserved earth and stone bank with no evidence of an enclosing fosse or entrance feature. The interior slopes gently from SW-NE.
See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
