The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise, in well-drained pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure. A ringfort (WM030-026----) lies c. 110m to SW. Levelled monument described in 1973 as no surface remains visible. Some stones are scattered on the ground where the earthwork formerly stood. Monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography, where the area is obscured by the shadow of the adjacent field boundary.
