On a N-facing slope. Oval grass-covered area (dims 89m E-W; 66m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5m; H 0.2-0.3m) which is reduced to a low scarp (H 0.2-0.4m) at N and S. A rectangular enclosure (RO022-075002-) (dims 26m E-W; 17m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m) at W and scarps elsewhere is attached to the inside of the perimeter at N, and a rectangular enclosure (RO022-075003-) with some bushes (dims 25m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by the base of a wall (Wth 1.5m) at W and scarps at N and S is attached to the inside of the perimeter at E. There is no identifiable entrance. The oval enclosure is within a circular outer enclosure (diam. 177m E-W; 162m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5-7m; H 0.2-0.3m) N-W-SW, with slight traces of a fosse (Wth of top 7m; ext. D 0.1m) at S, and incorporated into a field bank SW-W but reduced to a slight scarp elsewhere. There are no identifiable entrances. Field system (RO022-074----) is c. 180m to the NE.
