Situated on a low ridge running N-S, in pasture, on the demesne lands of Hall House located 450m to E. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped tree-planted enclosure. Monument described in 1977 as a raised roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 33m) enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The bank is slight and has been planted to form a hedge. A field fence runs into the bank and obscures the fosse from S-SW-WSW. The fosse has been widened or quarried from WNW-W-N. There is a gap at N which may be the original entrance. The interior has a gentle E-facing slope and has no obvious structures. Possible ringfort is visible today as a subcircular-shaped tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Possible ringfort reused as a tree-ring in the post-1700 period as part of the landscaping of the demesne of Hall House. Possibly not an antiquity but a designed landscape feature.
