What is recorded here
Situated on the E side of a ridge, on low-lying pasture, with good views to SE. Ringfort (WM025-085----) lies c. 120m to SE. Monument described in 1971 as a much disturbed sub-rectangular shaped area (dims. approx. 20m N-S) enclosed by a low bank visible at the NE and SE, which is almost reduced to a scarp elsewhere. The perimeter is obscured by modern walls to SW and NW. There is no visible trace of an external fosse and no entrance visible. The interior has a slight ESE-facing slope and has small field clearance mounds of loose stones.
