On a natural rise, now at edge of landscaped grounds of Medite factory whihc is located to W of monument. The ringfort is very badly overgrown and interior inaccessible at time of inspection. Roughly circular area (dims. c. 31-36m based on OS 6-inch map) enclosed by a substantial bank (Wth 2.1m crest, 8.2m base; int. H 1m; H above fosse 3.26m) and external fosse (Wth 7.1m; D 0.9m). Described in 1983 as "a large circular, flattish area surrounded by a large earthen bank on very high embankment with a silted up fosse outside. Interior slopes from W-E and a very large depression running W-E along S half is visible" (OPW file), this appears to be the result of quarrying. According to the OPW file the entrance may have been at E. Landscaping has changed topography to S and SW outside fosse, which latter may have been widened during this work.
