The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a natural rise, surrounded by gently undulating grassland, with good views all around. Described in 1972 as a sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 28m N-S; 26m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank and a very slight external fosse with entrance gap (Wth 1.7m) at NNE. Monument now appears to have been levelled with a modern house located on site of ringfort.
