On a SE-facing slope in rolling terrain, on a slight break in slope. Tillage to W and pasture to E. Very disturbed monument, (map diam. c. 32m E-W). A large quarry has destroyed most of the ringfort, encroaching from the N. In the SW quadrant the interior is filled with large mounds of upcast material from the quarry. Both the remains of the ringfort and the disused quarry are heavily overgrown with scrub. The ringfort, which is depicted on the current OS 6-inch map as being circular, is enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.3m crest, 4m base; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.62m). The bank in the W quadrant is broad and rather flattened. On the 25-inch OS map a wide fosse is depicted enclosing the bank from NE-E-SE and from S-W-NW, however, this is not visible above ground. There is a large, well-preserved limekiln at the mouth of the quarry in the N quadrant.
