Situated on a very slight rise, in gently undulating pasture. Bivallate ringfort described in 1971 as a roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 42m E-W; 36.6m N-S) enclosed by a bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner bank is high and steep on the exterior and is almost reduced to a scarp on the interior, with several modern gaps. A portion of the bank has been quarried away from SSE-S-WSW and a modern stone wall has been built just outside the base, where the ground is also disturbed. There are traces of a wide intervening fosse which is best preserved from SE-ESE. The outer bank is well defined and best preserved from SE-ESE, being visible in places outside the modern wall. Elsewhere, the ground at the foot of the outer bank is disturbed and a modern field bank intersects at ENE. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior has traces of cultivation ridges running NW-SE. A Preservation Order was placed on this monument 05/02/1975 (SMR file).
