What is recorded here
Situated on fairly level pasture with good views in all directions. Nearby mound (WM033-060----) located 65m to the SW. All that remains of this levelled monument is a curving stretch of a field boundary which preserves the SW section of the enclosing bank of the ringfort (diam. c. 40m N-S). Depicted as a circular enclosure with a field boundary running NW-SE across the SW quadrant on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. An earlier site report from 1971 described the upstanding monument as the 'much disturbed remains of a bivallate rath with one intervening fosse. The banks and fosse are best preserved from W to N, elsewhere the perimeter has been largely removed or obscured by later banks and depressions. One of the banks crosses the site on the S side, a later bank forms a drop outside the site at E. The original entrance way is not recognisable. The site is largely overgrown with blackthorn and whitethorn' (SMR File).
