Situated on gently rising ground, in pasture. Ringfort (WM031-034----) lies c. 95m to NE. Annotated 'Fort' on the OS Fair Plan map and depicted as a circular-shaped earthwork cut by a trackway across the SW sector. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as an irregular semicircular-shaped field boundary. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 27m) enclosed by a low bank with traces of an external fosse. A trackway cuts across the SW sector of the monument, where the perimeter has been levelled. The interior is relatively level and featureless, apart from a boulder in the W quadrant. Levelled monument is visible today as a vague semicircular-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography.
