Situated on the summit of a rise, in pasture, with extensive views to S, W and E. Ringfort (WM025-107----) lies c. 100m to NW. Monument described in 1971 as a roughly circular-shaped area enclosed by a bank and external fosse, no clear entrance feature visible. The substantial earthen bank (int. H 0.5-0.75m) has many disturbance gaps and the exterior has been steepened in relatively modern times, possibly when planting trees in the bank. There is a wide shallow fosse which may also have been recut when the bank was steepened. The interior has a slight SSE-facing slope. There are old banks, scarps and fosses in the immediate vicinity. A field report from 1976 adds that the fosse has been infilled around the northern arc and soil has been deposited against the exterior of the bank.
