Situated in pasture. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular bivallate enclosure (approx. overall dims. 61m N-S; 60m E-W). Ringfort (WM020-035----) lies c. 50m to ESE. Monument described in 1970 as a roughly circular-shaped area defined by two widely spaced banks which are almost reduced to a scarp in each case. The inner scarp defines a suboval area and is higher than the outer. The wide counterscarp defines a circular area and is not concentric with the inner. Old tree-stumps are visible growing on this intervening space. A modern field bank has been constructed against the foot of the outer scarp from ENE-E-SSE. The entrance is represented by a gap in each bank at SSE. A radial bank intersects the W sides of the gaps. There is a second radial bank at NNE. The interior rises slightly from the perimeter and some stones protrude above the surface. Traces of a hut site (WM020-034001-) are visible within the centre of the interior. Monument is visible as a tree-lined bivallate earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
