In low-lying grassland overlooking bogland to S. Circular ringfort (D 33m), in fair condition, defined by a stone-faced bank from S through W to NW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. Possible entrance at SW. A field wall cuts the monument at NE and ESE. Centrally placed within the interior is a circular earthen mound (D 12m) into which a funnel-shaped, partially subterranean, drystone structure (L 10.5m, Wth 3.2m) has been built; a curving drystone wall (L 1.1m) survives at E end of it: possibly a house or a limekiln.
