Situated on a SW-facing slope of a low rise, in pasture, with good views to SW, W and NW. Bivallate ringfort described as a circular-shaped area (diam. 29m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank with possible entrance at SE. The low inner bank is best preserved from NW-N-E-SE and has been reduced to a scarp from SE-S-W-NW. The fosse is wide, deep and U-shaped from NW-N-E-SE and is shallow or completely infilled elsewhere. The outer bank has intermittent disturbance gaps from SSE-S-SW. The inner bank, fosse and outer bank have been much disturbed by quarrying from W-NW. The interior has a gentle ESE-facing slope with traces of cultivation ridges visible running WNW-ESE.
