The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a low rise, in pasture, with good views to E, S and W. Monument described as an oval-shaped area enclosed by a stone wall and a bank. The ruined stone wall is visible from N-E-S and a low bank of earth and stone encloses the monument from SW-W-NW. There is no external fosse or entrance feature visible. The 1979 report records that the interior of the monument had been levelled in relatively recent times. A ruined building is located to SE. No surface remains visible today of levelled site on Digital Globe aerial photograph. Not depicted as an antiquity on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Depicted as a polygonal shaped field (approx. diam. 45m N-S) attached to W end of farm house to SE on 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map. Probably the remains of a circular-shaped field belonging to the farmhouse. Post-1700 field and not the remains of a ringfort.
