Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating grassland. Ringfort (WM015-015----) 190m to NE. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a circular-shaped enclosure with some trees on the perimeter, annotated on map as ‘fort’. The enclosing bank of the ringfort has been levelled and reduced to a low scar from NE-E-S-SSW.

See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
