A ringfort, or rath, is a roughly circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and sometimes an outer ditch, built during the early medieval period as a defended farmstead. This one measures around 35 metres across and is defined by a scarp, the steep face of an earthen embankment, rising to about two metres on the northern side. What makes the site quietly arresting is not what survives but what has happened to it: farm buildings pressed against the base of the scarp to the north-east, a lane skirted the eastern and southern edges, and by 1995 a large agricultural shed had been built directly into the interior, obliterating the southern portion of the monument entirely. The northern half was subsequently paved over.

When the site was first formally recorded in 1968, the enclosure was still largely intact as a raised, circular area of grass and scrub, its scarp reaching a width of four metres at the south-west. No entrance through the bank could be identified at that point, which is not unusual where later activity has reshaped the margins of a site. Nor was there any visible fosse, the outer ditch that typically accompanies such an earthwork, though its absence here almost certainly reflects the encroachment of the farm rather than an original design choice. A field bank at the base of the western and northern scarp suggests the landscape around the monument had long been organised for agricultural use, gradually folding the ancient enclosure into a working farmyard rather than preserving it apart from one.
