In meadow, on a gentle N-facing slope, with a low, natural rise to immediate to the NE and a spot height of 654ft to the SW. A ringfort (TS062-026----) lies c. 150m to the E. A levelled circular area (dims. 36m E-W; 34m N-S) defined by a cropmark of dark green grass representing the backfilled fosse (overall Wth 4.0m; basal Wth 1.5m). The fosse (D 0.2m) is evident from SE-S-SW. The interior slopes down to the N. A driving line, running E-W, traverses the S sector of the monument. A field boundary which ran E-W along the S edge of the monument has been removed. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
