What makes this particular example quietly unusual is the way it was constructed: rather than built up from the surrounding ground, the circular enclosure was carved directly into the ridge itself, so that the landscape becomes the structure. The result is a roughly 38-metre-wide depression defined not by a raised earthen bank in the conventional sense, but by an irregular scarp, essentially a cut face of earth and soil, that rises between half a metre and two metres above the interior floor.

At the south-eastern edge, traces of a shallow external fosse survive, a fosse being a defensive ditch dug to reinforce the boundary of the enclosure. Here it is modest in scale, only about three metres wide and barely fifteen centimetres deep, suggesting either significant silting and erosion over the centuries or that the ditch was never intended as a serious defensive feature. The original entrance has been lost entirely, which is not uncommon in ringforts that have been subjected to centuries of agricultural use and gradual land modification. What does survive, and what gives the interior a distinctly uneven character, are large boulders protruding from the ground across the eastern half of the enclosure. Whether these were always present, forming part of the original site, or have been shifted and exposed over time, the notes do not say, but they give the interior a rougher, more ancient texture than the grassy banks that surround many better-known examples of this fort type.
