What is recorded here
Situated on a natural rise of ground with good views to NE, E and SW. Large oval-shaped area (approx. diam. 79m NW-SE; 53m NE-SW) enclosed by a well preserved substantial earth and stone bank (Wth 3-5m; int. H 1.5-2m), with wide deep fosse and the remains of an external bank only visible from N-E-S. Causewayed entrance (Wth 3.8m) at W. The external bank appears to be the remains of a post-1700 field boundary as depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. The interior of the ringfort has old cultivation ridges running NE-SW through it.
