On a steep NW-facing slope in hilly pastureland, just off the crest of a hill. The ringfort is very disturbed. It is bisected NE-SW by a field boundary. The NW half of the ringfort appears to have been levelled between the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map in 1840 and the 2nd ed. (1906) (diam. c. 21m N-S; c. 23m E-W). The bank in the SE half is partially levelled and partially disturbed by quarrying. The bank (Wth 1.4m crest, 3.3m base; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.6m) survives best in the SW quadrant, it is partially built on outcrop and there is a lot of stone in the bank composition. A field bank runs close to and parallel with the SW bank. There is a souterrain (TS081-038002-) in the interior, partially exposed, in the N quadrant, 9m from the bank. A shallow trench (Wth c.1.8m; 0.15m D) has been cut along the internal base of the bank in the SE quadrant.
