There are tens of thousands of them recorded across the country, yet each one presents its own small puzzle, and this one is no exception.

The site takes the form of a roughly oval area, measuring approximately 36 metres on its north-west to south-east axis and 26 metres across, enclosed by a bank of earth and stone around five metres wide. The bank survives to an internal height of only about 20 centimetres, so it reads in the landscape more as a gentle thickening of the ground than as any obvious fortification. Typically, ringforts of this kind would originally have been accompanied by a fosse, a surrounding ditch from which the bank material was dug, but no trace of one is visible here at ground level. Along the north-west to east-south-east stretch, the bank has been removed altogether, and a natural scarp now marks the edge of the enclosure. The original entrance has been lost. What makes this site particularly curious is a secondary internal bank, running roughly north-north-east to south-south-west, that partially divides the interior and connects at its western end to the inner face of the main enclosure bank. Such internal divisions within ringforts are not unheard of, but their precise function is rarely straightforward to interpret; they may reflect a subdivision of domestic space, a later modification, or some kind of structural support now stripped of context by time and land use.
