Situated on slight W facing slope in grassland. Ringfort (WM011-016---) 180m to NNW. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a rectilinear shaped enclosure with trees on its perimeter. Not depicted as an antiquity on any edition of the OS maps. Depicted as a small roughly square shaped field on 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map. Present remains consist of a rectangular shaped area (approx. dims. 20m NW-SE; 21m NE-SW) enclosed by a high steep bank of post-1700 appearance and slight shallow external fosse with entrance gap (Wth 5m) at NE. Shape of monument would suggest possible moated site although its depiction on the OS maps would cast doubt about its antiquity. The sharp profile of the enclosing bank would suggest that this earthwork could be the remains of a small post-1700 field.
