On a rise in hilly grassland. Well- preserved subcircular ringfort (E-W 36.5m, N-S 34m) defined by two stone-lined earthen banks and an intervening fosse. Well-defined entrance at SE. Within the interior is an oval-shaped hollow (L 7m), long axis running NW-SE, the remains of a possible souterrain. Immediately to SE are the grassed-over foundation lines of a square stone structure (L/Wth 4m), possibly a house. A field wall cuts the monument at NE and SSE. Two ringforts (GA030-080----, GA030-081----) lie c. 100m and c. 200m to W respectively.
