The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight natural rise in gently undulating pasture-land. Ringfort (WM006-042---) 60m to NW. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map (approx. diam. 30m E-W), the S half of this monument has been levelled, visible only as a dark band of vegetation (Wth 5m). All that remains is a poorly preserved earthen bank from W-N-NE where it survives incorporated into a post-1700 field fence which curves around the N quadrant of the monument. The slightly raised interior slopes slightly from E-W.
