Situated on a break in the NE-facing lower slope of a hill, in pasture. A heavily overgrown univallate ringfort (diam. c. 40m N-S) defined by a bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.93m) with a modern gap (Wth 4.5m) in the SW quadrant. A deep drainage gully aligned NW-SE meets the external face of the bank at W and continues around the circumference of the site. This has been excavated to form a wide, deep ditch with sheer sides. In the NE quadrant this deep ditch ends with water flowing NE-SW down the field gully.
