Partially hachured

Situated on a gentle NW facing slope in pasture-land with extensive views to the W, N & SE. A large circular shaped area (approx. diam 67m N-S; 60m E-W) enclosed by a substantial earth and stone bank and slight external fosse. The bank has several disturbance gaps and is best preserved from ESE-SSE and from S-SSW. Externally the bank has been steepened and faced with dry-stone walling from SSW-W-N-NNE. Traces of cultivation ridges are visible running NE-SW across the interior. A roadway running NW-SE cuts through the SW quadrant of the monument as depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Two field fences intersect the site at N & NNE. The depiction of the monument on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map would suggest that this was originally a bivallate ringfort, with oval-shaped interior measuring approx. diam. 30m E-W. The internal enclosing feature has been levelled just leaving the large outer enclosing bank that is depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map.
