In undulating grassland. Circular ringfort (D 34.4m), in fair condition, defined by two earthen stone-faced banks and an intervening fosse. A field wall cuts the monument at N and S, to E of which no visible surface trace of the outer bank survives. It is overlain by a field wall at SW. There is a probable souterrain (GA059-002001-) within the interior.
