Thousands of these sites survive across the island, yet each one represents a domestic world, a family compound, a patch of defended ground, that has largely dissolved back into the landscape. What distinguishes a site like this is not drama but persistence, the fact that the bank is still there at all, quietly holding its shape in a field that has been grazed and cleared and worked for centuries since.

The ringfort sits on a south-facing slope just below the brow of a low hill, a position that would have offered both prospect and some shelter. The enclosure is roughly circular, measuring 22.3 metres north to south and 22.2 metres east to west, making it a modest example of the type. The earthen bank that defines it stands about 0.5 metres high on the interior and just under a metre on the exterior, giving a sense of how the surrounding ground was built up over time rather than dramatically sculpted. The bank is best preserved along the south-east to north-west arc; at the north-east it has been worn down considerably by cattle movement. Along the south-west to north-west stretch, field boundary clearance debris has been dumped against the outer face of the bank, the accumulated side-effect of generations of farmers tidying their land. The site was compiled by Denis Power and aerial photographs were taken in March 2006.

Access is across working agricultural pasture, so the interior, which slopes gently down towards the south-west, will almost certainly be under grass. The earthwork is subtle enough that knowing what you are looking for matters; the surviving bank reads most clearly from the south-east side, where it retains the most height and definition. The north-east portion is the most degraded and gives a useful sense of how quickly these features can be lost when livestock traffic concentrates along them. Early spring, when the grass is short, tends to make the relief of such earthworks easier to read from ground level.
