Towards base of SW-facing slope of NW-SE running ridge. Surrounded by pasture to NW, NE and SE. Farmyard and sheds to S-SW and large sileage pit to W. Ringfort in poor condition, some scrub around edge and in interior. Rubbish dumped up against the external face of the bank in the S quadrant. Sileage wrapped bales are stored immediately SW of monument. Roughly circular area (diam. 33m E-W; N-S not obtainable due to dense scrub in S quadrant) Bank reduced to badly eroded scarp (H 0.9m) in SW quadrant. Farm road runs NE-SW along NW side, bank in this sector is largely levelled, some dumping and a lot of scrub around edge. Field bank runs NW-SE along NE quadrant with field drain to SW. Similarly a field bank defines the SE quadrant. Gap in bank in E quadrant is a broken through field bank with a gate temporarily blocking the gap.
