On the crest of a ridge in rolling pastureland. The field boundary to the E has been removed. No visible remains above ground. There is a kink in the field boundary to the N which follows the line of the N quadrant. It appears in the 1840 OS edition as a roughly hexagonal shape, the E side being incorporated into a field boundary. On the later 1907 OS edition (diam. c. 38m N-S; c. 33m E-W) it is depicted as a bank in the N and W sectors and as a scarp to the S, the E side again is incorporated in a field boundary. The monument was inspected in 1958 and excluded from the Land Project scheme of the time. It is described as being partly destroyed 'About a quarter of an otherwise levelled low platform ringfort. In good tillage land,fairly level (100-200 O.D),with slight drop to the W. Interior of the fort is level. Fosse is 6ft/1.8m wide on W side. Fosse bottom 1ft/0.3m below outer ground level, 4ft/1.2m below inner platform. Ground level to E is the same inside and outside. Radius of circle would c100"/30m. Only SW quadrant exists. Scrub around fosse: grass inside. Rest of field is tilled.No sign of fort in adjoining field (apparently completely levelled, if it ever existed). It is just possibly an old garden plot rather than a ringfort' (O.P.W correspondence files, Feb. 1958).
