Situated on a low rise in pasture-land on the landscaped demesne lands of Benison Lodge 500m to SW. Ringfort which appears to have been converted into a tree-ring in the post 1700 period as part of the landscaping of the lands around Benison Lodge. An oval-shaped area (dims. 30m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE) enclosed by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank, shallow fosse from NNE-E-SE and elsewhere by a narrow ledge, with an outer earthen bank at NE. A tree-covered outer bank of earth and stone encloses this monument at an average distance of 15m which appears to be the result of post-1700 landscaping when the ringfort was converted into a tree-ring. The interior of the ringfort rises towards the centre, and has traces of cultivation ridges which run NE-SW. Remains of a rectangular house site (WM007-033001-) visible in the NW quadrant.
