On top of a gently sloping low rise, in gently undulating improved pasture with a moated site (TS058-049001-) visible c. 320m to the NW. Shown as a hachured roughly circular area on the 1904 edition of the OS 6-inch map but has since been truncated at the E edge and now consists of a D-shaped slightly raised area (dims. 23m N-S; 19m W-E) defined by a broad flat-topped earthen bank (overall Wth 7.8m; Wth at top 1.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) with an external fosse (overall Wth 6m). The bank is best preserved SE-NW where the flat-topped profile is consistent and undisturbed. From NW-NE the bank has been increased in height (int. H 1.2m) with the addition of soil and some rubble rock derived from modern field clearance activity. An E-W orientated track lies 4m from the external base of the bank at N. The bank has been removed and the edge of the ringfort straightened off NE-SE with a modern ramp (Wth 3m) at E giving access to the interior. The fosse is visible SW-NW only as a very slight hollow at the external base of the bank. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
