The hillfort is located on a oval-shaped rocky hillside overgrown with small and large trees. Moving around on the hill was challenging because of all the rock outcrops and tight vegetation and the walls can be very difficult to find. The hill is very steep to the north, east and south. The wall can be found on the west and south west side of the hill.
The walls start in the south at a steep vertical cliff and follows a natural rocky edge of the cliff to the nnw and then to the nw in a irregular line. The wall is heavily damaged and most of the wall have fallen down the edge and large amounts of stone is found at the bottom of the hill. The wall is broken and removed for a length of around 20 metres and a path crosses over the wall before it starts again on the other side of the path for a length of around 15 metres. The wall have varied from 1,5 to 3 metres wide but most of it has fallen over and the remains are overgrown. I could only find small remains of the walls.
