Situated on rising ground in grassland that has been planted with trees. Railway line 240m to W. Ringfort (WM011-070---) 200m to NNW. Clanhugh Demesne 270m to S with gate lodge 290m to SSE. Depicted as a tree-ring and not as an antiquity on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map with similar tree-ring 140m to S. Possible ringfort that was re-used as a tree-ring in the post 1700 period. Alternatively the earthwork may have been built as a tree-ring in the post 1700 period. A sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 46m NW-SE; 50m NE-SW) enclosed by a wide low earthen bank and external fosse. The steep sides of the fosse suggest that it has been re-dug in modern times possibly when the site was landscaped as a tree-ring. The interior slopes from NE-SW and contains spruce trees planted in the 19th century. A field fence running NNE-SSW intersects the monument at NE.
