On a slight E-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Ringfort (LI022-002----) 20m to NE. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2001 and described as a slightly raised circular-shaped area (diam. 30m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.15; ext. H 0.3m) which is almost reduced to a scarp and an external fosse (overall Wth 7m; base Wth 2.7m; D 0.2m). The outer line of the fosse is incorporated into a field boundary from SE-S-SW. The interior is level, dry and densely overgrown with vegetation around the perimeter. A field system is visible to E and S. Monument is visible as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
See attached sketch plan surveyed by the ASI and Google Earth orthoimage.
