Situated on a rise, in pasture. A ringfort (WM030-062----) lies c. 90m to N. Annotated ‘Fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as a circular-shaped tree-lined enclosure. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1964 as a low platform earthwork (max. H 6’-8’ / 1.8-2.4m) defined by a scarp and faint traces of an external fosse (OPW Field Report 05/05/1964). Interior is inaccessible. Levelled monument described in 1973 as a roughly oval-shaped area (diam. 40m) defined by a pale green band of differential growth of grass which presumably represents a backfilled fosse. Levelled monument is visible today as a faint roughly circular-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography.
