In level pastureland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (D c. 50m). All that survives is a degraded scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank from NW through N to E. A vegetation band defines the monument elsewhere. The W section of the interior has been quarried out. Two ringforts (GA029-078----, GA029-079----) lie 30m to SW and 80m to SSW respectively.
