The principal visible remains are two sections of defences at the north eastern (two banks/ditches + wall) and south western (three banks/ditches) ends of the north western side of the hillfort, between the two sections of banks and ditches the site appears to just be protected by a steep slope.
Within the part of the hillfort not damaged by modern cultivation there are the traces of old cultivation (also outside the fort - especially to the north east) and a few more small banks.
The farmer has been using one of the ditches at the south western end as a dumping ground for boulders and stone which has probably been pulled from the arable field.
