Situated on a low rise, in pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped earthwork (dims. 43m N-S; 45m E-W) cut across the W sector by a field boundary running roughly N-S with a small square-shaped enclosure or structure adjoining the E side, in the NW quadrant of the ringfort. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area enclosed by an earth and stone bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. A house site (WM038-033001-) is visible in the NW quadrant. The monument is densely overgrown making close examination difficult. According to a field report of 1977, the W sector of the monument has been levelled to W of the field boundary running N-S. According to local information the ringfort was levelled in the early 1980s (pers. comm. Hugh Carey 17/07/1997). Levelled monument is visible today as a vague outline of a roughly circular-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography which abuts a modern house plot to W.
