Situated on a slight W-facing slope in very wet rough pasture. The E portion was damaged in antiquity by the construction of the roadway which curves out slightly to allow for the monument. A subcircular ringfort (diam. c. 50m NNW-SSE; c. 45m SSW-NNE) defined by a bank and fosse. The interior and exterior of the site is under very heavy vegetation. The bank is best preserved towards the N (Wth 3.5m; H 2.5-3m) and the fosse only survives along the SW sector (Wth 3m; D 0.5m). A gap (Wth 6m) at N may be original and there is a second gap (Wth 3m) at S. (Ryan 1980) The following images have been uploaded: CL053-041----_01.jpg From W. General overview of ringfort.
