What is recorded here
Situated in slightly elevated position, ringfort (diam. c. 52m) defined by a large earthen bank (max. Wth c. 7m, int. H 2.6m, ext. H 3.5m). A large gap (Wth 4m) at NNE probably indicates the position of the original entrance, now widened. No evidence of fosse, the outer face of which has been cut back by earth-moving machinery. (JKAS 1904, 236-7)
