Situated on level summit of a broad rise in gently undulating pasture. Circular area (diam. 14m) defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.2m) with a fosse (Wth 5.3m) and an external bank of earth (Wth 6m; int. H 0.4m). An E-W orientated field boundary bank of earth and stone crosses the site at SW and at SE. The scarped edge, the fosse and the external bank are absent to the S of this boundary.
