In grassland on a SE-facing slope of rising ground in upland region overlooking stream to SE. Ringfort consists of a circular area (int. diam. 41m N-S; 34m E-W) enclosed by a well-preserved earth and stone bank (top Wth 1.8m; base Wth 3m; int. H 0.15-0.5m; ext. H 1.7m) and outer fosse (base Wth 2m; top Wth 4m; ext. D 0.6-1m) with gaps (Wth 3m) in bank at NNE and W (Wth 2m). Bank reduced a scarp from NE through N to S and no evidence of a fosse at E but visible on all other sides (from S through W to NE). Traces of a low barely visible external bank (Wth 2m; H 0.1m) visible from NE through E to SE only not visible elsewhere. Bank intersected by a field boundary at NE, S and W as depicted on OS 6-inch map. Both gaps have the appearance of being later livestock entrances.
