Situated on the N edge of a low ridge running roughly WNW-ESE, in pasture, with good views to N and E. Ringfort (WM036-003001-) and Man-made underground passage (WM036-003002-) lies c. 125m to NW and ringwork (WM036-005----) lies c. 195m to SE. Not depicted on OS maps. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 29m) enclosed by an earthen bank visible from ENE-E-S-WNW and reduced to a scarp from WNW-N-ENE. The ground falls sharply at the base of the scarp. Levelled monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
