The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a low rise of ground with good views of the surrounding countryside. A roughly D-shaped area (approx. diam. 31m N-S; 30m E-W) with straight side at SE enclosed by an earth and stone bank (ext. H 4m), wide shallow fosse and external bank with entrance gap at SSE. The interior of the ringfort is fairly even, with a slight stony rise to N of centre.
