Situated on a low rise of ground on wet marshy land in area now planted with coniferous trees. Depicted as an oval-shaped enclosure on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map but as a rectangular shaped earthwork on the 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map. The shape of the monument appears to have been modified when a post-1700 field boundary running NE-SW was constructed on the S side of the monument. This field boundary now forms the enclosing element of the monument on the SW side. Present remains consist of a sub-rectangular shaped area (diam. 37m NW-SE x 30m NE-SW) enclosed by poorly preserved remains of a low bank and external fosse, no clear entrance feature visible. The grass-covered wall footings of two hut sites (WM026-032001-/002-) are visible in the centre of the ringfort.
