On a generally level area on a gentle E-facing slope, in improved pasture. Westropp (1914-16, 67), describes this monument as an ‘earthen fort…with a shallow fosse…’. A circular area (22m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by the remains of a levelled bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.45m; Wth at top 4.2m; overall Wth 11.1m) WNW-SSE and levelled SSE-WSW. The enclosing elements are truncated across the W sector by a tertiary road (long-axis N-S) and across the SW sector by a stone and tree-lined field boundary (long-axis NW-SE). A concrete tank with trackway and field entrance has been built at S-SW. There is no obvious entrance gap. The interior is sunken below the external ground level across the western half. Ringfort (CL035-104----) is located c. 115m to E.
