Situated on a low rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Monument described as an oval-shaped area (dims. 40m E-W; 30m N-S) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner earth and stone bank is poorly preserved having several modern gaps and disturbance depressions. A shallow intervening fosse is visible from SW-W-N-E. An outer bank is visible from S-W-N and is very slight and fragmentary from W-N. A trench has been cut through the outer bank at W and a bank running NW-SE extends from it. The fosse and outer bank are disturbed at S. The entrance is not recognisable. The interior of the ringfort rises very slightly from the perimeter towards the centre where there are the remains of a possible house site (WM025-095001-). An enclosure truncates the outer bank of the monument at S. A field boundary running N-S abuts the monument at NE and a slight earth and stone bank is visible from NE-ENE. Monument was placed on the Register of Historic Monuments on the 28/02/1989.
