Situated on the summit of a high ridge in undulating grassland with wide views of the surrounding countryside. Ringfort (WM012-111---) 150m to NNW. A circular shaped area (approx. diam. 41m N-S; 40m E-W) enclosed by two earth and stone banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank is substantial and best preserved at N, the fosse is wide and deep and the outer bank is low and fragmentary. At E quarrying has levelled the banks, fosse and part of the interior. At W there is a wide break in the inner bank, a narrow gap in the outer bank and a disturbed irregular causeway across the fosse, although these appear to be of recent origin. The interior slopes gently towards the E. In the W quadrant of the interior a low mound is visible, which could be the remains of a house site (WM012-112001-).
