An earth and stone bank defines the circuit.

Situated on the E-facing slope of a rise in undulating pastureland. A small circular enclosure (diam. 26.3m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.7m) with evidence of stone revetment. On the current (1903) ed. OS 6-inch map field boundaries are depicted abutting the site in the SE, SW and NW quadrants and encompassing the circuit of the ringfort. Though these field boundaries have been removed they may account for the stone facing on the bank. No visible evidence of a fosse or entrance feature.
