H 2.1m) mainly reduced to a scarped edge and external fosse (Wth 5.1m; D 1.2m) with causewayed entrance gap (Wth 4.8m) at SE.

H 0.3m) with a ramped entrance (Wth 6m) at N, which appears to be modern. A field drain flows from a ditch at NE along the E and S side of the ringfort through the fosse draining to the SW.
