H 1m) reduced to a scarp in places with some traces of an external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.25m) and a possible entrance gap (Wth 2.5m) at SW. A laneway intersects the bank and fosse at W, with a forestry drain bisecting the site interior on a N-S axis. The area around the ringfort has been recently ploughed for forestry plantation.
