Depicted as a D-shaped earthwork on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Situated on a low NE facing slope of low rise on flat pasture with bogland now planted with trees nearby to NE. Ringfort (WM002-025----) 160m to SSE. D-shaped area (dims. 35m NE-SW; 28.5m NW-SE) with straight side at NW defined by a poorly preserved tree-lined earthen bank mainly reduced to a scarp (H 0.3-0.8m) with slight traces of an external fosse (Wth 2.5-3m; ext. D 0.3m) at NNW. Bank has been ploughed out in NW. Gaps on NW, W & N and in SE - the latter may be original entrance. In the SW corner a very low artificially raised platform or irregular plan which may be a house site (WM002-024001-). There are two old ditch and bank features extending NE from the N & NE sides of site. The whole SE side of the site has been truncated by a modern ditch and field bank.
