Cahill 1982 described a univallate ringfort with a 40-metre circular area enclosed by a bank and a partially filled outer ditch. The monument has been levelled since that account, leaving a 0.3-metre deep hollow depression measuring 30 metres north-south and 28 metres east-west on a low ridge.

A hollow depression (D 0.3m; diam. 30m N-S; 28m E-W) in area marked on the 1st (1840) and 2nd (1953-4) ed. OS 6-inch map (map dims. c. 62m N-S; c. 64m E-W) is all that remains of this levelled ringfort. A sketch plan and section of the monument drawn in 1953 depicts the interior as being below the external ground level (OS Field Memorandums).The monument has been levelled since 1982 when it was described as being a univalltate ringfort consisting of a circular area (diam. 40m) enclosed by a bank and an outer ditch which has been partially filled in (Cahill 1982).
