The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in undulating pasture, with good views from W-N-E and restricted to S. Bivallate ringfort described in 1971-8 as a subcircular-shaped area (dims. 48.3m E-W; 46m N-S) enclosed by a bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner bank is low and the fosse is wide, deep and U-shaped. The low outer bank is best preserved from SW-W and has a gap at WSW. The outer bank has been incorporated into a field boundary from W-N-SSE. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior has a gentle NE-facing slope and traces of cultivation ridges running NW-SE.
