In grassland atop high ground in upland area with good extensive views in all directions. No surface remains visible of monument which is indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as a partial enclosure (approx. diam. 50m N-S) surviving from S through W to N only and not indicated on any other sides, field boundary intersected S end of enclosure on an E-W axis, is not indicated on latest ed. OS 6-inch map. Monument probably levelled totally between 1840 and 1953-4 ed. OS 6-inch maps. Impressive hilltop siting sets this monument apart from other enclosures and ringforts in the area, may have been a hilltop enclosure. Cahill describes the monument as being levelled with a cottage built on the levelled monument (Cahill 1982, vol. 2) however, the cottage appears to have been built close to the enclosure with its present boundary intersecting the N side of the levelled monument.
