Situated on the SW-facing slope of a hill, in pasture. A platform ringfort (diam. c. 29m N-S) with traces of an enclosing bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.55-1.5m), largely reduced to a scarp downslope. There is a slight suggestion of an outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.4m) in the SW quadrant and a small clearing at NNW revealed a broad, shallow, U-shaped fosse. The interior and most of the exterior, except at SW, is heavily overgrown with brambles and scrub.
