On top of the S end of a N-S ridge between two valleys, with very steep slopes to E, S and W. In a very prominent defensive position. There are excellent views in all directions. A raised circular area (diam. 33m) enclosed by a bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 4.2m; Wth at crest 2m; overall Wth 6-8m); fosse (Wth 3.7m; D 1.3m) and intermittent traces of a possible outer bank (ext. H 0.4m; Wth 1.5m) which may be an old field boundary. The location and morphology of the monument suggest that this may be a ringwork rather than a ringfort.
