The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in undulating pasture. Ringfort (WM031-074----) lies c. 135m to SE. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped earthwork (overall dims. 40m N-S; 35m E-W) with a straight side to S. Depicted on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a ‘Gravel Pit’. Levelled monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography as a faint light-green coloured D-shaped cropmark consistent with the depiction of the gravel pit on the OS 25-inch map.
