Levelled ringfort described in 1974 as a sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 28m) enclosed by a very poorly preserved earthen bank, with traces of a slight fosse at W. The interior slopes slightly from NW-SE, and has traces of cultivation ridges which run NE-SW. A post 1837 field fence bisects the site from NE-SW.
