Possible ringfort (WM002-024----) located 160m to NW. Cluster of farm buildings 30m to SSE as depicted on 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. No surface remains visible of levelled ringfort. Cropmark of monument visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs taken November 2011. Described in 1973 as a much denuded ringfort consisting of a roughly circular area (approx. diam. 31m NE-SW; 26m NW-SE) defined by a low poorly preserved earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.05m; ext. H 0.3m) with slight remains of an external fosse (Wth 4.2m; D 0.25m), no entrance feature visible. A section of the fosse and bank have been cut away on the SE. Field boundary running NE-SE cuts across the E side of the monument.
