What is recorded here
Described in 1979 as a ringfort situated on a small hillock in undulating countryside with good views in all directions. The monument consists of an oval-shaped area (diam. 35m N-S; 53m ENE-WSW) defined by traces of a poorly preserved bank mainly reduced to a steep scarp. There is no evidence of an entrance feature. The interior is slightly uneven and slopes slightly from NE-SW. Cultivation ridges running ENE-WSW traverse the interior of the monument.
