On a S-facing slope of hill, just off the crest, in rolling pasture. This is the most southerly of three ringforts in close proximity, the adjacent site (TS082-018002-) is located c. 44m to N and TS-82-018001- lies c. 85m to the NNW. A roughly circular area (diam. 32m E-W, N-S c. 33m from 6-inch map, not obtainable on ground due to dense scrub), enclosed by an earthen and stone bank (Wth 1.1m crest, 2.1m base; int. H 0.33m; ext. H 0.8m). The bank is covered with white thorn and there is a lot of scrub and nettles in the interior. The bank is particularly pronounced in the W sector (Wth 2.4m crest, 7m base; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2m). There are gaps in the bank in the W (Wth 1.3m), NE (Wth 1m) and E (1.7m) quadrants, all appear to be caused by cattle. There is a possible entrance in the NNW (Wth 1.2m) sector which faces the adjacent ringfort (TS082-018002-). There is no external fosse visible in SE-N-W sectors, however there is a wide, deep fosse (Wth 2.7m; D 0.7m) running from W-S-SE with a slight suggestion of a counterscarp bank, very broad and flat, difficult to gauge due to scrub.
