Situated on a small hillock, in pasture, with extensive views to the NE, E and SE and overlooked by a higher ridge to W. Ringfort (WM031-077----) lies c. 120m to E. Depicted on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1979 as a roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 37m E-W; 36m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank and external fosse. The bank is best preserved from NW-N-NE and from SE-S-SW, but is very faint from SW-W-NW and from NE-E-SE. The fosse is best preserved from N-NE and from SE-S-SW and is very shallow from SW-W-NW-N. There is no indication of an original entrance. The interior has a SE-facing slope and an uneven surface with no features visible. Monument is visible today as a roughly circular-shaped tree-lined earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
