Situated on a S-facing slope, immediately E and S of a field boundary. Depicted on the 1923 OS map as a D-shaped enclosure defined on its W side by a N-S field boundary and from N to S by the curving arch of an earthen bank; the depiction suggests this is the E side of a ringfort, the W side being levelled. It is now evident as a sub-rectangular area (c. 47m N-S; 19m E-W), enclosed N to E by a bank and defined E to S by a scarped edge (H 0.8m; Wth 10.6m), and defined by a field boundary on W side. The bank (int. H 0.5m; Wth 2.4m: ext. H 0.3m) is of earth-and-stone construction and is better defined in the N (int. H 1.2m; Wth 1.2m; ext. H 1.5m). There is a gap in the enclosing element at SE (Wth 1.6m) which may represent an entrance. The interior surface is relatively even and slopes down to S. There are piles of topsoil, grassed over, in the NE part of the interior up against the bank.
