Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the gentle N-facing slope of a broad spur. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 28m E-W; 24.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank with some bushes (at W: Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.4m) S-W-N and a scarp (H 0.2m at E) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. It is bisected by a NNE-SSW field wall and barely survives E of this.
